Pros

Strong EIM Vision Some great talented people who know the technology well Good work life balance with a mobile working culture Interesting work

Cons

CEO is a lose cannon changing strategy and staff every 5 minutes. Randomly aquired overlapping legacy products kept going for the maintenance. Impossible to integrate despite the grand vision. Serious competition doing it better for cheaper now eroding market share in most segments.

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!
