Pros

We have great technology, smart people and a decent plan going forward.

Cons

The need to move everyone to Waterloo is very frustrating. We are laying-off highly talented people outside of CA and moving all of the jobs to CA. The budget process is weird too. No raises for 3 years but we are going to spend $1B (with a B) on a research project?

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.
