Pros

Good material for another sitcom

Cons

What’s it like to work for OpenText? Imagine you work for a catering company and they land a really big gig, like the Oscars. There are a lot of talented cooks on the staff. But the company won’t buy any ingredients, they just tell you to go into the storage closet and find whatever 10 year old crap is lying around and make do with that. In other words, the expectations are high and there is talent in the ranks, but you’re not given any resources to be successful. This applies to both their customer-facing stack as well as all the back end systems and infrastructure needed to keep the company running.

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.
