Pros

They have a lot of products.

Cons

1. 401k match is a total joke. I was part of an acquisition and my previous employer offered a 6% match. Opentext match is 1%. They "spin" it in the employee benefits packet to make it look better, but it is only 1%. 2. This is a TECH COMPANY, yet they no longer allow their employees to work remote! What kind of a tech company does that? You cannot preach the ability to work anywhere in the world and stay connected with iOT and yet you do not practice what you preach! 3. The Development team is short staffed and they are the one's running the show. I've seen so many deals get blown because Development doesn't have enough resources and basically gets to decide what they will and will not work on. How do you grow a company doing this? The sales people are working their butts off to bring in business and it gets turned down ALL OF THE TIME.

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!
