Pros

regular paycheck ok benefits some very good co-workers

Cons

low salaries inflation was high last year, raises minimal (company perspective is "if high salaries are what draws you to your job, you may want to look elsewhere" paternalistic management (e.g. most companies have 'matching donations to any 501c3 - (1 for 1), OpenText wants employees to select from their list of charities and then can do a press release on their philanthropy) micromanagement from the top (you have to do your top in spite of the senior managers above you not because they're helpful If your company is acquired, start looking the day of the announcement because the first order of business will be 'who can be laid off'

Pros

Some of the people in place still have a life to live so they work as professionals in a less than ideal situation.

Cons

This company is morally and ethically dead. The life has been sucked out of the employees by terrible policies and practices. Employees who get good reviews are not given salary increases - where is the motivation to do anything other than the minimal amount of work or help other depts when you get 0 recognition. New hires, especially sales, are only hired because they have a heart beat. Good sales staff have left in mass for multiple reasons. Other depts are being downsized and replaced overseas. Required office attendance means you get treated like you are in elementary school. The list goes on and on.

Pros

Great social environment for working with people I like.

Cons

We buy all these companies, go through staff reductions even firing the entire staff of the companies we buy, then sell out support to India. OT is an asset management company and not a software company. Slavish devotion to stock price will eventually destroy this company, or have it sold to another company in a moment of absolute irony.
