Pros

- Good benefits - Continued learning encouraged and supported - Competitive pay - 401 K - Career planning - Company is well structured - Lots of company resources

Cons

- Unexpected layoffs were common , but this is expected in any corporate environment. - In my role as a software engineer, there was a lot of collaboration with off shore teams. The con for me was having to meet with off shore teammates during outside of general work hours.

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!
