Pros

Due to the geographically dispersed organization, it is easy for remote workers to feel like they are not second class citizens and act as a "normal" member of the company.

Cons

Below market rate pay, poor performance review/compensation system without annual increases. Company is built on continuous acquisitions, which leads to fearful people worried about getting let go due to redundancies, little camaraderie among teams, and very little cohesiveness between different business units.

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!
