Pros

competitive benefit packages and perks

Cons

Other companies offer better compensation packages now, causing employees to leave. Slowly becoming more and more like a call center with metrics that do not necessarily improve the customer experience but is only there to show as numbers for the upper management HR is incompetent. A member of the management can get away with using company name to borrow money from subordinates and not pay it back. HR would pretend to look into the issue without any action, giving the impression that such acts are tolerated. Support people are required to create tickets for everything, even for alerts that are dismissable - ticket farming. Teams are encouraged to do this to show their "productivity" in numbers (metrics), even if doing so puts most of their time in the ticket creation than on actually resolving customers issues.

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!
