Exposure to enterprise-level projects and technologies. Opportunities to work with global teams. Good work-life balance in most roles. Stable organization with a broad portfolio of products. Decent benefits and job security.

Cons

Slow decision-making processes and bureaucracy. Outdated tools and systems in some departments. Limited career progression opportunities without changing teams or roles. Management communication can be inconsistent, especially during reorganizations. Company culture can feel rigid; innovation isn’t always encouraged.

Pros

Pros was that you had a job (and not for long if they find a way to outsource your position in the company).

Cons

Cons are so many to list, but from the leadership in this company being so out of touch with his/her employees, the restructuring done in their company to save some bucks on their end was crazy brutal, firing all of their talented workers to implement automated programs that did not function properly. Overall, horrible experience with OpenText, lies upon lies when it came to growth opportunities and keeping teams in the dark, no communication what so ever. Their business practices were just plain terrible.
