Pros

Ability to work remote depending on position

Cons

Non-existent management and guidance. Same role in different region has different expectations. Performance metrics, for some positions, include a factor that is completely based on luck. This completely skews the opportunity for meeting your numbers compared to your peers. Managers, who you don't report to, can influence how your performance is viewed even though you do not report to them nor do they ever speak to you. Lastly, benefits costs increased considerably after acquisition. No attractive benefits with this company, everything from vacation to health benefits.

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!
