Pros

New Technology, Good People, flexible work environment(tele-commute, dress, hours).

Cons

very poor HR department, very poor pay raises, focus on executive compensation over worker-bee compensation. This company's strategy is "growth by acquisition". They do not invest in on-going operations. They have annual layoffs and appear to be moving to an 60% or greater off-shore employment strategy. The CEO is a micro manager and still seems to think he is leading a startup company. They freeze business travel every year, but the CEO still flies on chartered jets and uses private drivers. This is a burn out shop, so be prepared for the expectation of 10+ hour days plus weekend work.

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.
