Pros

They had some great employees at some point.

Cons

If your company is acquired by OpenText leave as soon as you can. They make a lot of promises about the transition and none of them are true. I worked for a small company with a lot of great people. Most of them are gone now because they were either let go or left because OpenText is too toxic. They are too big to reach people that can make decisions that can improve things. They will gut your support teams and leave your clients wondering what happened.

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.
