Pros

- Current push is for AI expertise and ingenuity - Relaxed atmosphere - Hybrid (3 days at office, 2 at home) for most employees

Cons

- All opportunities require AI skills and most are in India - In spite of AI push, many employees are lax/ambivalent about it - Shooting self in the foot--AI tools that would make process and products better are prohibited due to concerns about IP - Weak compensation and benefits, very low performance raises, even for the highest performers (non-existent for average or lower) - Global reach sometimes requires meetings at wee hours of the night/early morning

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.
