Pros
Good work and life balance
Cons
Insecurity of job is high(during recession)
OpenText Response3wThank you for your feedback. As the company grows through acquisition, there will unavoidably be some duplication in roles which may lead to team structure rebalancing to ensure that the appropriate level of skill is attributed to each area of the business. As and when these changes may happen, information is provided to employees as early as possible in line with legal requirements. We try as much as possible to support team members in finding opportunities in other areas of the business, should their areas be impacted by restructuring.

Pros
The acquisitions team is great at finding hidden undervalued gems of companies to acquire, and it is exciting to be involved in this process if you happen to be involved in the finance aspect of things. The company is good at enabling work/life balance and the health benefits are good.
Cons
Finance & accounting dominates the company culture and does not mesh well with the more risk-embracing aspects of the R&D organization.

Pros
OT pays well above average in my experience. Work life balance can be good but is 100% at the discretion of your immediate supervior.
Cons
You will be expected to churn out work at a ridiculous pace. Teams often feel undermanned and corporate bureaucracy in obtaining additional resources will impede progress. Often teams are missing critical resources so milestones and deadlines are consistently missed. CEO preaches that OT hires only the best and brightest but are unable to retain them because of atmosphere. Inter-department and inter-product work is thinly veiled finger pointing and true teamwork suffers because of it. Annual review process involves a capped number of reviews at each level of achievement so consistent high level work may only earn you an average rating because too many other people outperformed their expectations despite praise from reviewing supervisor.
