Natural attrition

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are decent. The company isn't the worse if you get hired on as a OpenText employee. You'll at least get new hardware that should work. CEO is a decent guy and at least tries to send positive messages. From a business perspective the company is well run.

Cons

If you're an employee of a company that is bought out by OpenText, be prepared for major cultural change and cuts. Prepare to be frustrated with integrating with their networks and systems. They won't give you new hardware and computers, and won't help you much with getting things to work. HR is virtually non-existent and very hard to reach - functions much like bad credit card customer service that doesn't want you to call. Communication in general is very difficult. Mid level leadership changes happen very often, as people often get laid off or leave out of frustration or fear of being laid off. Thus, many remaining managers or directors tend to look after themselves and are not supportive of their subordinates. Has a feeling of "every man for himself". Not my raises or promotions for individual contributors. If it does happen they very small and below market. Feels like the company wants natural attrition to happen because as people leave, they move those roles to Hyberdad, India, instead of back filling those roles in US or Canada. From an individual employee perspective, it's not great, especially if your company was taken over.
