Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us, we are glad you had a rewarding experience at OpenText. As our company grows through acquisitions, there may naturally be some duplication in roles, prompting us to reevaluate the team structure to ensure an optimal distribution of skills across different business functions. We are committed to promptly communicating any such changes and our aim is to support team members in discovering potential opportunities in alternative areas of the business, should their roles be impacted by the restructuring. We wish you success in all your future endeavors.

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!
