Pros

Not many pro's. Its a company that is lost in transition. Too many acquisitions and no clear strategy of growth. The products are dated and lack the vision for the future

Cons

Salary is below par and always below market level, internal politics is cut throat, India management is short sighted and lacks the vision required to scale up

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.
