Pros

Fair pay, Xmas-New Years company-wide closure, 401k matching and other decent benefits. Fellow employees (not management).

Cons

Everything else. So-called directors don't know how to direct, managers don't know how to manage. They haven't quite got the hang of how to work with remote employees. Constant shuttling of management. Little to nothing in the way of raises. There is not a true end-to-end solution, because it is not organic, but rather a big, messy puzzle put together by different products that were built by difference companies, and it is a seriously difficult and expensive puzzle to implement and configure. There are *always* yearly staff reductions to make company profits look better. Layoffs common because mgmt cannot figure out all the moving parts in order to make the most of their resources. Management is very reactionary rather than visionary. There are far better ECM companies out there.

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.
