Pros

Excellent and affordable benefits. Strong comraderie and excellent communication found at the "worker bee" level. Opportunities to learn new technologies.

Cons

Little room for advancement due to the siloed nature of the organization. Communication and direction from Senior Management is not effective. The "growth by aquisition" approach taken leads to customer confusion and frustration, which is then taken out on those on the front line - customer service, support and delivery teams. Any attempt to influence meaningful chage is regarded hostilly by middle management.

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!
