Pros

Easy going work culture. Pretty diverse workforce with lot of long term employees. 4 weeks of mandatory annual leave and 1 week year end shutdown Fully equipped to be remote/ WFH Processes are well defined

Cons

Slow in terms of innovation (follower of trend, not a leader) Constant buying of competitors leads to a patch work of stack that barely works in the first go once you bring it to a customer Every tool/service used would either be cheapest or would have won a "value for money" award.

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!
