Pros

Immediate management are thoughtful and considerate. Reasonable salary and benefits. Flexible working conditions and hours (to some extent). Considerate of life outside of work.

Cons

Senior management has absolutely no regard for the many years experience the staff of their acquisitions have. They toss them aside without thought and needlessly waste valuable assets. No one in our local office has enough understanding of what is happening strategically in the rest of the company other than boilerplate emails. There is little or no chance to ask serious questions of management. Goals seem to constantly be shifting negating much hard work already done. Senior management has brought in an excessive number of buddies from previous roles that don't have a clue about our core business.

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.
