Pros
Open Text has a very laid back environment. Generally speaking they allow you to work at your own pace and you can ask for help when you need it. For the projects I worked on, there were no deadlines and you were free to work on whatever you wanted. They provide good employee benefits and are quite lenient if you need time off for various reasons. The work hours are flexible as long as you get your work done. People are generally nice, friendly and willing to help you out whenever its needed. Most of the employees are fairly young.
Cons
In my unit, it was difficult to communicate with my boss because she worked in a different city and the rest of our unit was spread over North America. I felt uncomfortable sometimes asking questions because the answers are sometimes difficult to explain over the phone or through instant messenger. The set up process is very slow at open text. Many people when just starting sit for almost 2 weeks without any work to do and without a computer or anything and are told to read the book about the company history and Livelink. I barely had any work to do and the feedback I got was always "great job" but I would never see any of my work being used for any purpose.
