Pros

Soda fountain, relaxed office, direct manager is one of the best, friendly coworkers

Cons

Company was bought out in late 2018. New upper management is horrible. They do not have the customer's best interests at heart. Would rather skimp on infrastructure and support for a bigger paycheck. Laid off 600 employees just to say that we are in the company's best fiscal year to-date, financially. Outdated hardware that causes massive system failures weekly (Disrupting customer data is the norm). Many customers have fled the company and went elsewhere due to lack of support. (One support queue went from ~30 tickets to ~500 tickets due to lack of team members). Multiple 'one-person' teams that are in charge of entire platforms. New company switched everything to 'proprietary' software, which significantly decreased productivity since it is all poorly designed. Poor compensation and lack of appreciation from upper management.

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!
