Pros

Honestly other than some layup deals from existing customers that need additional functionality, can’t think of any

Cons

Where to begin…..No culture whatsoever. Management’s approach is “just close the deal” regardless of challenges. Company is comprised mostly of old on-prem software products that other (better) companies spun off. Almost all successful salespeople (<20%) are employees that came over from an acquisition and actually understand this stale, unnecessarily complicated software. I’ve been here for a couple years and haven’t seen any new employee last over 2 years, in fact most last 12-18 months max…..and for good reasons. OT can’t keep up with innovation and customer demand to move to the cloud. If/when you’re finally able to find a customer who wants this stuff, good luck selling it! The internal obstacles are truly unbelievable. In closing, if you’re considering this company - honest advice is don’t. You’ll get an average salary with a pretty much guaranteed below-average experience. The company is not well-regarded by customers, analysts, competitors- so you’re not even building your resume by working here. Go work for a company that cares for their employees, can keep up with the times in technology, and doesn’t foster a negative employee experience in virtually every aspect.

Pros

None. The most inefficient, vague, bloated and useless software management company I've had the displeasure to experience.

Cons

Too many to count. OpenText seems to be a company that gobbles up successful companies and then squeezes the profits out of them. As teammates quit, OT will replace people with teams based in India to simply maintain applications so they can continue to squeeze money out of them until they eventually shut an app down and move onto the next one. Further complaints of this company: * The worst healthcare options in tech * Virtually no salary or career progression * New hires will be paid more than the managers who are backfilling positions * The worst tech support possible * Literal years between any personal device upgrades * Red tape in every direction * An activist CEO who has no clue what actually happens in the companies OT gobbles up. * Poor mid-level leadership in general
