Pros

Chance to work from home, good work/life balance.

Cons

No career opportunities, no chances to meet management, no respect for your work, you are just considered as an entry in a spreadsheet. Open Text is a black hole which keeps making acquisitions, firing the most part of acquired employees and making the acquired products dying.

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.
