      Pros

      Unlike many software companies, Open Text has a Big Picture/Long Term view of the market and its offerings, and the treatment of its employees. Many of my peers have been promoted. Open Text provides an excellent work/ life balance for me. I believe that the strategies we have in place for our offerings will greatly benefit our customers and that Open Text actually understands the value of content - all content: documents, records, email, video, faxes, web content and wants to make it all search able and add on on real social networking and collaboration tools to the content - it's very exciting!

      Cons

      It's a big company, and sometimes it's difficult to navigate

      Growing pains, although necessary, can hurt.

      Pros

      There are a lot of really good people who work at Open Text. The atmosphere can be very informal and inviting. Free coffee.

      Cons

      There are a lot of little silos working independently and not enough collaboration or "big picture" thinking. Management will often lie or sugar coat communications with employees, like moving the date when compensation increases would occur and then saying that it was to align something or other, but it was obvious to most of us that it was to make the books look good for that quarter and to get out of paying the increased compensation for an additional 5 or 6 months. The company is in growing pains as it transitions from a small company to a big one. The bureaucracy can get a little thick.
