Pros

Worked with some nice people

Cons

Start looking for your next job immediately… this company is constantly laying folks off to cover for little to no organic growth. Be prepared to do the work of multiple people and be constantly gas-lighted that these other positions are unnecessary - you just need to be “more efficient.” Also, don’t expect anything more than a 1% raise even when you’re working your butt off.

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!
