Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Lost money in acquisition due to poor 401k match. only 1%. Poor benefit package Kept my team intact for 18 months, assuring everybody that we were safe from layoffs. Started "restructuring" and was still assured all was good. Let go within 3 months.

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.
