Pros

Good Technology, Good People, flexible work environment(tele-commute, dress, hours). Other than than it is down hill from here.

Cons

So many but here is the biggest. OpenText is a cancer, it eats companies through acquisitions. Then slowing kills everything good about that company. Benefits and perks are reduced after a year from the acquisition. 401k dropped to 1% match but they word it as 25% up to 4% because they now just saying 1% is horrible. Everything is monitored and scrutinized, from expense reporting to the number of times you use your badge to get into the building. They are extremely cheap, went 3 years without a raise but the company was growing 25% year over year.

This company funds its growth on the back of its employees

Pros

New Technology, Good People, flexible work environment(tele-commute, dress, hours).

Cons

very poor HR department, very poor pay raises, focus on executive compensation over worker-bee compensation. This company's strategy is "growth by acquisition". They do not invest in on-going operations. They have annual layoffs and appear to be moving to an 60% or greater off-shore employment strategy. The CEO is a micro manager and still seems to think he is leading a startup company. They freeze business travel every year, but the CEO still flies on chartered jets and uses private drivers. This is a burn out shop, so be prepared for the expectation of 10+ hour days plus weekend work.
