Pros

As if anyone who works here would actually have a pro

Cons

The latest from the two faced CEO is to adamantly deny we are doing layoffs like all the tech companies are doing, while all his indications of our immediate direction point to just that. They will just call it something else like restructuring or right-sizing. He claims they are investing in employees when what he really means is investing in offshore resources to replace all the onshore heads they will be cutting. Or just another cheap bargain basement acquisition of a declining company. Plenty of talk about belt-tightening, and preparing for the coming hurricane, asking employees to consider if Opentext is the right fit for them, and the importance of the performance review process. Now a company wide push to have us use up remaining vacation time in the first part of September. This wouldn't have anything to do with severance pay, would it? Also at recent company conference he touted Opentext expertise in helping our clients move to a remote workforce. Then in almost the same breath justifying our own return to office mandate by saying "companies that stay remote will fail in five years". I hope our clients weren't listening, and if they were, I hope they don't ask for their money back.
