Pros

Nothing good about this company - they are in business of ruining carrers

Cons

After recruiting me over from another company they laid me off after only 6 months due to restructuring. I was fired next day after coming back from business trip where I was robbed at the parking lot. Open Text advised me not to buy travel insurance as I was suppose to be covered by their own insurer. It was shocking enough to be robbed during the trip, but being fired the day I returned was even more shocking. They promised to reimburse for the losses and did not do it for 6 months until I took them to court. I e-mail CEO, VP of HR and my VP. No one ever replied. I had to do what I did and as soon as court case was filed in court they sent me a check for my travel losses. After I was let go, they fired every single manager and VP I worked with - some people worked there for 10-15 years. BUT they hired other people instead. Company has no appreciation of their human capital. Don't go to work there!

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!
