Ventajas
Over 17+ years, I worked with an incredible team of coworkers. I started working there when it was Hummingbird, and then when bought out by OpenText, the team of eight was reduced to one. Me. I did all the work for over a decade myself (that seven others used to do). I had a great manager. Benefits were EXCELLENT. Time off was EXCELLENT. Teamwork was EXCELLENT. My work performance, because I absolutely loved my job, was never an issue. I thrived there.
Desventajas
Imagine working at a company that regularly buys other companies, which those acquisitions are ALWAYS followed by layoffs. I can’t tell you how many bullets I dodged while seeing our original team diminish to a handful. Then one day I got a phone call from HR. My reward for 17+ years? Layoff. Thanks.
