Pros
OpenText offers a reasonably competitive salary and great benefits package and flexible work hours. Nice offices and good IT equipment available for employees.
Cons
The product lines are hard to understand. There are too many similar or competing products. There are very few minorities and women in upper management (Vice President or Director) roles. Better salaries are offered based on gender. Raises are rarely offered (e.g. one raise in 6 years). Senior directors hired from companies like CA, Nortel, Oracle etc. brought in their cronies and "Old Boys" network attitudes and as a result many key people have left. More defections will come once the economy gets better.
