Pros

I was part of a company that got acquired, so many of these benefits are practices that they continued after acquiring us (marked with *). Currently remote Decent number of holidays 3 weeks vacation* Good teammates* Good work-life balance*, but that might depend on what products you work for. My team/business unit follows SAFe Agile model, so we also have built-in periods of downtime every 3ish months for planning, innovation, etc.

Cons

I was part of a company that was acquired by OpenText, so we were not a priority. A lot of coworkers were laid off, and we didn't get opportunities for promotions and raises till the 2nd year.

Pros

You get a paycheck. Some of the people are nice but don’t trust anyone.

Cons

Exec leadership is awful. Always putting out the positive party line but it is all lies. Products are so far behind competitors. No investment in product or marketing. Senior executive leadership team shuffles around their “good old boy” comrades to new roles instead of retiring them or holding them accountable. The internal politics with everyone back stabbing each other to manage up and keep their jobs. Leadership is just doing what the board chair tells them to do. It is all about self promotion vs doing the job. They like to blame the previous CEO but he has been gone a year and it has only gotten worse. OpenText likes to brand itself as top company to work for , I say STAY AWAY!
