Pros

Customer focus where the sales management focus on getting deal close. Close relationship with SAP and getting deals from SAP most of the time.

Cons

1. Once you are acquired by Opentext, get ready to lose your job. After my company was acquired, most of the product management, marketing, sales, presales got retrenched. The company goes low on licensing and highly focused on generating revenue from professional services rendered to customer. 2. Company was saying they want to be employee focus and friendly but the next day, major worldwide retrenchment happens right in front of you.

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.
