Pros

Still many good people, including clever people who could create great software given the chance.

Cons

Constant distrust and fear. A culture of bullying. A lack of integrity and values. All that matters to most managers is trying to avoid the wrath of upper management, by instead telling them what they want to hear and manipulating statistics. A culture of lies and dishonesty. No one believes what we hear from above nor the statistics we produce ourselves. Repeated aggressive take-overs of other companies, followed by layoffs (since I am considered a "top performer" I am never affected, but many great colleagues have been):

Pros

You will experience the great work life balance in opentext. The company is grown to the extent where it is by a lot of acquisitions. Consistent work culture across the product teams.

Cons

Not much scope for individual development. Low growth curve unless you are part of the team that works on a popular money making product.

Pros

Very competitive salary and benefits. Afforded an opportunity to work on a modern technology stack. Lots of time off. Strong company overall.

Cons

Have to work long hours leading up to major releases. The team feels a bit understaffed at times. They have a penchant for layoffs.
