Pros

Pros are dwindling day by day under the CEO leadership. Open text used to be fiscally responsible, but now management just cuts to show a better bottom line.

Cons

Company wants to cut staff to show less losses, but cannot keep up with customer expecttions as it is. Wants to be a leader in cloud offerings at the expense of everything else and the CEO talks about being the best place to work. He doesn't even understand his culture, products or people, yet he has time to scrutinize resumes. He has created a huge culture of fear at Opentext, which is very counter productive.

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.
