Pros

I have though intensively to try to find a good reason to work for such a company and I need to say that I was not able to find any. I have joined Opentext by acquisition.

Cons

No Meritocracy at all, any simple decision and any penny to be spent require CEO approval, no people empowerment, the workforce is just a number and it is just a window for the market, HR does not exist, Talent Development is a micky mouse word for the organization. Travel freeze is not an exception but it is the Opentext CEO WAY, EVEN before COVID.

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.
