Pros

There are great teams and team members to work with, but many are leaving so what makes this a good place to work is dwindling.

Cons

Micromanagement at the exec level. The compensation and annual review system is broken. You can perform well for the year and get a high review score, but not receive a raise. Not even anything to combat inflation. The average salaries for many positions is not competitive. This leads to many good employees leaving with years of knowledge with them. Leadership lacks clear direction and expect results while also not providing enough resources to complete projects.

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!
