Pros

They seem to be able to grow through acquisitions.

Cons

Growth through acquisitions. They buy companies with dated tech. This wastes a ton of money they don't spend on their own employees. Most recently they got a loser company from Boston that is nothing more than dead weight and bloated director/vp salaries and little to no new technology.

Pros

Fellow employees are very nice and willing to help each out.

Cons

The primary focus of Opentext is to acquire companies with recurring revenue that will provide cash and drive the Opentext acquisition engine. Therefore, there is little investment in other areas of the business and they are downsized through lay-off and people leaving. It is a very uncomfortable and fear driven culture.

Pros

Nice Office Space and cubes

Cons

No Organic growth. Company survives on maintenance revenues of acquired products. If you are a part of an acquisition then please know that your job will be eliminated and even if you stay the team will be reduced to bare minimum that can keep it running. I was part of an acquisition and our entire team except for 2 people got laid off. It was a very complex product so there were no signs of knowledge transfer to offshore teams etc.. Just got the boot, So please don't join the company and if you get acquired Run... like all the other reviewers said.
