Pros

OpenText is an exciting company to work for that provides a lot of opportunity to do new things and grow your skillset. The people you get to work with are amazing and the company is always moving forward with new technology and adapting to the changing tech world.

Cons

It has been said that one year at OpenText equals seven years at another company. They attract high achievers and expect the best, often pushing you beyond your comfort zone. This is not a bad thing. The downside is that, especially in technical roles, you need to either be promoted or move positions to see an increase in pay commensurate to your level of effort and experience year over year. This makes them a great boomerang company.

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.
