Pros

Not much to see here. Move along.

Cons

I believe that the web site best describes the company as depicting that the company: As many readers will be aware, at this point, OTEX has made its living acquiring the cats, the dogs and the rats of the enterprise software world, and if not transforming them into high-luster properties at the least executing a strategy that allows the OTEX to retain a high proportion of the revenues of its acquisition (usually between 70%-80%) and to transform the acquired businesses such that those revenues reach the company’s business model margins in a year or so

Pros

most people are nice and professional

Cons

top and middle managers only know their own job, but have no idea what should be the strategy of sub-company or their group. When business is bad, they know who to lay off. But they can not find the right solution for their products or their group.

Pros

Good choice of locations around the world, including Bay Area, Canada. Software oriented company.

Cons

For acquisitions, they told the teams one thing about opportunities, careers and how they valued people, but in practice did not follow these words. Overall culture has a large serving of "pass the buck". They are not so much a software company as an acquisition company, and linked with that, they tend to be penny pinchers.
