Pros

Work life balance. Good team. Old technology. Less stress.

Cons

Opentext keeps on acquiring new companies but don't bother to care for their old employees. I have been working with opentext for past 5 years, but they do not value you after some point. Hikes are very bad; they don't even match the industry criteria. They only value new joiners and freshers but to existing employees they won't even value or give respect. They will wait for you to leave the company. The amount of respect they give for new joiners compared to old employees is worst. Only join if you want a temporary place.

Pros

While they claim to be "pro-employee" they are very much pro-Canadian employee. As long as you are a Canadian, your job should be safe. And US based role is in jeopardy.

Cons

Laying off all Americans. I do not see relevant data on location based statistics for the last 4 rounds of layoffs. The bulk of the "trimming" has been based in US. This is cost savings. Additionally, they post US based jobs for 24 hours then pull those and post H1B notifications that they could not find equivalent US resources and need to outsource for cheaper money.
