Pros

It’s better than homelessness… Just.

Cons

It is progressively becoming worse and worse. Wether it is a bi-yearly layoffs, politics which mirror game of thrones or an executive leadership team that makes bad decisions after bad decision. The CEO only cares about his yearly bonus and will do anything possible to secure his bonus, nothing else matters to them. From the “open verse” to AI, strategy changes month on month with no long term vision. Stock price has continued to drop or stalled for months/years.. a lot of senior management sold their stock at the start of 2025, that’s tells you how confident they are in organization. The business is all about virtue signalling and doing nothing for employees benefits. From career weeks, to career development plans, the business has no interest in you or your goals. Every single thing that the business does is about appeasing the megalomaniac that is the CEO… senior leadership is terrified of upsetting them and losing their jobs, there are more spines in jellyfish than there are in Opentext leadership. In the words of the C’suite “everyone is replaceable” no company is perfect but honestly opentext exists as a bank to the CEO, you and everything else is disposable.

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.
