Pros

-Good work life balance -Larger arena to display, leverage skills and knowledge -Can move around projects as multiple products are developed under the same roof -Provides shuttles/transportation to and fro work -Good annual events -You can reach out to your boss easily for raising concerns (how it is taken care is part of cons) -Work satisfaction will be very good -Acquires a new company almost every quarter, so can work with new products integrations -Manageable work pressure (except a few projects) -Employee friendly policies (slowly diminishing) -Very good agile development model to enrich your experience -Leaves lot of space to propose and accommodate technological enhancements in products

Cons

- Very bad paymaster for long-standing employees working year after year. I think they try to enforce the quote - never love your company. -Slowly moving away from Employee friendly policies

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!
