      Third-rate software company that could have been so much better

      Pros

      Flexible about working hours so I could sometimes work at home, but this is at the discretion of your team-leader/manager. I have a great team-leader. Free coffee. There are a couple of Tassimo brewers if you know where to look.

      Cons

      Lack of co-operation between teams. Some team leaders don't care about quality, just deadlines. Next to impossible to get anything innovative done. Senior management seems completely ignorant of what really goes on at a grass roots level in the company. Its as they work for an entirely different OpenText than the rest of us. Clueless. A mire of bureaucracy. Most of the administrivia that employees have to deal with is confusing, frustrating, and slow. Ridiculous internal structure. People in one part of the company jet around the world doing this and that, and yet there is "no budget" to ship a small but essential piece of equipment from one office to another.

      Lots of growth and opportunities

      Pros

      I have worked at OpenText for a long time. Started off in an entry level position. There were lots of growth and opportunities, before I knew it I was managing my own team and making my own decisions. It's great when a company believes in you. I love the work life balance at OpenText, espeically with a little infant. It helps to be able to work from home when I need to. The people I work with are great! I have great managers whom I have always been able to commuunicate freely with and learn from. I think I have stayed so long at OpenText becuase of the people and the opportunities the company has to offer. Other great things about OpenText is the work. It is challenging and I can honestly say I love my job. I have never been able to say that before but now I can. I am always learning skills and being challenged on a day to day basis. Continuous learning is important to me in a job and OpenText definitely offers that.

      Cons

      The only thing I have struggled with during all my years at OpenText is that it is hard to get a raise. I wished OpenText would be more proactive then reactive.
