Pros

1. Company outings that is very fun and able for an employee to hang out with other employee 2. Learning EDI

Cons

1. employee's progression was basically on the project given to you, if project is BIG client then you are lucky to get promoted else not 2. Promoting work life balance but rampant on work during holidays and weekends. Sometimes they will asked you to get into office earlier to attend meeting at least in my experience 3. Lots of management politics inside 4. Managers / leads keep on changing.

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!
