Pros

Great software space to be involved with. Field staff has a lot of autonomy to work on their own. Lots of good people that work hard and take the time to help their peers. Generous holiday/vacation plan but you can't really take the time off.

Cons

Company is more interested in acquisitions for tax credits and other financial reasons vs. software to be incorporated in a core platform. Very little training and employee on-boarding mentoring. Poor Work/Life balance.

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.
