Pros

1. Good exposure to latest technologies and of course it is in very few projects. 2. keep on acquiring companies and expanding products & business. 3. Variable pay is paid fully if you meet expectations. 4. Interns & freshers get nice pay. 5. Gym reimbursement(upto 12k)

Cons

1. works in acquire & fire policy. ACQUIRE new companies and FIRE employees on yearly basis 2. Most of the projects are support projects. you will be busy full day but you don't learn anything new. 3. Management takes decisions and implement overnight. 4. No work from home(Strict Policy). 5. Never get good hike in opentext. Good hike is next to impossible. 6. Cab facility is there only in Hyderbad. 7. Only one food vendor and cafeteria food is not good if not bad. 8. Management doesn't have any control here. your work/project will be decided by Management sitting in US whether you are interested or not.

Pros

Pros was that you had a job (and not for long if they find a way to outsource your position in the company).

Cons

Cons are so many to list, but from the leadership in this company being so out of touch with his/her employees, the restructuring done in their company to save some bucks on their end was crazy brutal, firing all of their talented workers to implement automated programs that did not function properly. Overall, horrible experience with OpenText, lies upon lies when it came to growth opportunities and keeping teams in the dark, no communication what so ever. Their business practices were just plain terrible.
