Pros

As mentioned work/life balance in most areas of the company are decent. Granted it depends on you branch of the business and individual management teams.

Cons

If you aren't in Corporate HQ or not in sales, you're just an anonymous number on a balance sheet. Company is very acquisition and sales driven, focusing on being a bigger sales number business rather than tech. Acquisitions are often gutted for a fraction of its resources and leave the rest to be cut out as a cost savings or forgotten with little to no support until the revenue stream dries up from the existing customer base. On the individual level - low pay, no mobility, open-floor half-cubicle work environment, no concept of training or real employee support, most non-HQ offices feel forgotten about until its time for the yearly layoffs.

Pros

You get a paycheck. Some of the people are nice but don’t trust anyone.

Cons

Exec leadership is awful. Always putting out the positive party line but it is all lies. Products are so far behind competitors. No investment in product or marketing. Senior executive leadership team shuffles around their “good old boy” comrades to new roles instead of retiring them or holding them accountable. The internal politics with everyone back stabbing each other to manage up and keep their jobs. Leadership is just doing what the board chair tells them to do. It is all about self promotion vs doing the job. They like to blame the previous CEO but he has been gone a year and it has only gotten worse. OpenText likes to brand itself as top company to work for , I say STAY AWAY!
