Pros

Many smart and helpful people work here. If you are in Services, Development, Q&A and other technical areas it is very exciting. OT has been around for over 20 years and continues to grow. It always surprises the folks who love to undervalue it. I believe many of the former sales people have posted negative comments because they were forced to work for their revenue.

Cons

There have been layoffs through acquisitions. Some managers are incompetent or neutral. "Communication" within departments is sometimes really lacking.

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!
