Pros

I worked for a company that was bought out by OpenText and got to work with those colleagues majority of the time, however I left 8months after the acquisition as it was a bad environment which was the message also from C level senior management.

Cons

1. You are treated as number, poor senior management engagement. 2. No trust with upper management - insane level of approvals for a simple task required by CEO - this reflects lack of trust and a controlling CEO. 3. Poor management and little strategic direction provided, apart from numerous M&A's and churning businesses over. 4. Numerous round of redundancies - but not always handled well. 5. Uneasy working environment 6. Unacceptable work life balance and working expectations 7. 'Collaborative working' - bums on seat/micro-managing 8. No career opportunities 9. Poor compensation compared to other companies The list could go on, but I would never recommend anyone to work there.

Pros

I no longer work there.

Cons

They do not value their employees. I was told to never take more than a week off at a time, or it was proof you were not needed. They do not value their customers. Channels created to allow customer feedback to management were shutdown because management did not want to have to deal with customers upset about product issues caused by their cost cutting.
