Pros

Open Text is a fast-paced and rapidly changing work environment. Working in the marketing department was a great experience and I had an outstanding manager. My manager encouraged us to exceed expectations and the resources were provided for us to learn new skills and fulfill our potential. The company recognizes high performers and frequently promotes from within. Also, the company is very accommodating to employees who want to commute or work remotely.

Cons

I question whether former employees are "black-listed" once they choose to leave. I would not consider the work culture to be particularly welcoming or social - it may take a while to get to know people (compared to other corporations). I have heard of low employee retention rates, but I am not sure why and cannot confirm the accuracy of those rumors.

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!
