Pros

For the most part, those on the front lines are great to work with, especially my direct peers.

Cons

Upper management appears to see most things through the lens of racism and DEI. The organization is pretty top-heavy. The small size of the approvals that have to go all the way up to the CEO for a decision It fairly pretty stunning. Why are there so many managers at so many levels if the smallest of decisions have to funnel all the way up to be made by Mark Barrenechea (CEO)? The low star rating below on "Diversity & Inclusion" is not because it is ignored at OpenText, but rather because of it is oppressively overemphasized ... we are regularly being lectured to about it.

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.
