Pros

Open Text is a fast-paced and rapidly changing work environment. Working in the marketing department was a great experience and I had an outstanding manager. My manager encouraged us to exceed expectations and the resources were provided for us to learn new skills and fulfill our potential. The company recognizes high performers and frequently promotes from within. Also, the company is very accommodating to employees who want to commute or work remotely.

Cons

I question whether former employees are "black-listed" once they choose to leave. I would not consider the work culture to be particularly welcoming or social - it may take a while to get to know people (compared to other corporations). I have heard of low employee retention rates, but I am not sure why and cannot confirm the accuracy of those rumors.

Pros

Pros was that you had a job (and not for long if they find a way to outsource your position in the company).

Cons

Cons are so many to list, but from the leadership in this company being so out of touch with his/her employees, the restructuring done in their company to save some bucks on their end was crazy brutal, firing all of their talented workers to implement automated programs that did not function properly. Overall, horrible experience with OpenText, lies upon lies when it came to growth opportunities and keeping teams in the dark, no communication what so ever. Their business practices were just plain terrible.
