Pros
OpenText has a worldwide reputation that presents a seemingly great view of their company with tons of high profile customers. The CEO provides a very inclusive atmosphere. Managers are realistic and understanding. Pay is on par with many organizations.
Cons
Company is a giant wad of chewing gum, consisting of smaller wads of chewing gum smashed together with the hopes that no one will see the different colors and types. Information systems are an absolute mess and a disaster, especially if you are in a smaller business unit. Its impossible to find your way around and tools are not adequate to make sense of the mess. Many times, because of the sheer number of business units, there are specific client circumstances where a salesperson from one unit is forced to sell against a salesperson from another business unit. Expenses and travel are tightly controlled and there is not an atmosphere of fun or togetherness. For a business that is reporting record profits, it seems like they do not have a direction or a plan for their sales team to grow as employees.
