Pros

Still many good people, including clever people who could create great software given the chance.

Cons

Constant distrust and fear. A culture of bullying. A lack of integrity and values. All that matters to most managers is trying to avoid the wrath of upper management, by instead telling them what they want to hear and manipulating statistics. A culture of lies and dishonesty. No one believes what we hear from above nor the statistics we produce ourselves. Repeated aggressive take-overs of other companies, followed by layoffs (since I am considered a "top performer" I am never affected, but many great colleagues have been):

Pros

You will experience the great work life balance in opentext. The company is grown to the extent where it is by a lot of acquisitions. Consistent work culture across the product teams.

Cons

Not much scope for individual development. Low growth curve unless you are part of the team that works on a popular money making product.

Resigning after 14+ years

Pros

Great company if you just care about your bonus. As a consultant, you can make money if you do have a lot of billable.

Cons

Mananagement even in europe is like offshore management. You are just assigned on tasks. No thanks if you perform well. You are even not told about pre-sales opportunities you might work on. OpenText just killed acquired Vignette technology: Vignette campaign management is gone and wasn't replaced, no usable shopping integration, poor video integration in the CMS. No improvement in CMS workflow. Not even a single portlet to look at your calendar in SAP. The acquired Vignette products are the same they where 5 years ago. They were put in a sarcophagus. Most of our great customer are leaving because of lack of innovation.
