Pros

Unless you're in a position where you travel, the work-life balance is good and the benefits (except for salary) are just really great. If you love to be challenged, you definitely have possibilities.

Cons

Too many acquisitions make the company feel like a patchwork. Working environment can be soooo different from one office to the other. The company being global, you keep working with people you never meet; it's easy to get the feeling that you are just another drop in the ocean. The only way to increase your income is to get a promotion, so people either get "fake" job titles (created by the manager to justify the raise) or get promoted to positions where they don't belong. The higher management changes very often too, you get the feeling they are disposable - no long term vision there.

Pros

You get a paycheck. Some of the people are nice but don’t trust anyone.

Cons

Exec leadership is awful. Always putting out the positive party line but it is all lies. Products are so far behind competitors. No investment in product or marketing. Senior executive leadership team shuffles around their “good old boy” comrades to new roles instead of retiring them or holding them accountable. The internal politics with everyone back stabbing each other to manage up and keep their jobs. Leadership is just doing what the board chair tells them to do. It is all about self promotion vs doing the job. They like to blame the previous CEO but he has been gone a year and it has only gotten worse. OpenText likes to brand itself as top company to work for , I say STAY AWAY!
