Pros
The main office is in a beautiful location, the cafeteria meals are excellently priced and of good quality, and there's access to decent coffee and flavoured water. Also, huge emphasis on work/life balance, even though that's occasionally violated. Still a massive plus.
Cons
For starters, the pay is far lower than the market average. This is especially offensive when you consider that the CEO is one of the highest paid CEOs in Canada. Seniority can, and often does, mean an increase in salary by a few thousand but nothing commensurate to what the job requires. The biggest issue, however, is the people. Perhaps it's the tension everyone feels after experiencing so many back-to-back lay offs, but people here, as another reviewer aptly stated, seem to take everything personally. Additionally, several employees respond rather curtly/rudely when you approach them with a question regarding their work, even if you come across as friendly. Many employees are often on the defensive, and will either actively ignore your inquiry or respond rudely, going as far as complaining to your direct manager if they feel inconvenienced by your questions. There is a complete lack of cohesion between teams, often with leaders fending for themselves. This culture has trickled down to the average employee, and now the organization is stuck with individuals who only see themselves as just that; an individual. It can make anticipating collaboration an anxiety-inducing affair, and can make a good day feel miserable. Some people seem more immune to it than others. Having worked in companies where the poor management is often balanced out by amazing and generous peers, I'd say OpenText has the opposite problem and it can be quite draining.
