Pros

The people and atmosphere are relaxed. Decent pay and benefits for people entering the IT field.

Cons

Unorganized and mismanaged to the point of embarrassment. Sparse integrations between their own products. Cash is king, so if youre a customer that wants something fixed you better be shelling out big bucks. Every 6 months there is a budget freeze because of an aquisition. Even when the budget isn't frozen good luck trying to squeeze a dime out of upper management.

Flexible schedule, great team, great resources when you can get them, good pay and accounts

Cons

The right hand has no clue what the left hand is doing. Through acquisition, resources and teams are separate per solution. Unattainable quota

Pros

Colleagues and some social benefits.

Cons

Since the new CEO is on Bord, at Open Text all is on money, money, money and money. the people below the SVP's are only numbers. i never worked for a company like this before whre all is on the money, the shares and the micromanagement from the CEO! The Managers are must lie to their AE's and are not willing to prevent them from getting fired. AE's are running away from Open Text (mee too soon), because they can not reach their goals and their Managers are not able to manage them. People Management does not exist here at Open Text. it is a slow sinking ship as long as the CEO is on Bord. Spoken words are nothing when it comes to get commissions paid and agreed deal splits will decreased afterwards. Why would you work for a company where in the last two months at least 15 AE's left the company? There is no reason to start at Open Text. Marketing does not exists and if there are campaigns, they are stubid and against the market, because the CEO thinks that Open Text is the Bigest and best company in the World...... if AE's trying to aquire a new Customer they have to explain "Who Open Text is" because they are only Known by the products of the aquired Companies like Ixos or Reddot or Vignette..... Stay away and get hired by a company with future and CEO and manager who takes care about their people. Hopefully the CEO has to leave the company soon, than there is a chance to get it back on track for the people. Money is all for the CEO, thats in his contract.
