High Volume- Never Boring!

Anonymous employee

Pros

offers a very flexible work schedule. Working from home or needing flex time is never a problem. There is definitely always something to do (and usually several things!). For someone who hates being bored at work, it is a pro. Pay and benefits are both competitive

Cons

Constant change. Have had many managers during my time here which can be difficult. Org structures change without a chance to see if the last one worked

The worst place to work

Pros

Good salary. They regular pay everything on time. Good products but without a real integration. Beneficts are ok. SAP partnership.

Cons

No innovation. Micro management from CEO to your boss. No career plan, they fire good people in a fiscal year in order to make better results and they hire anybody again next year

Pros

There are/was a lot of talented people who still care. It is only a matter of time before the remaining talent moves on. OpenText does has a 401K plan, this is good. But, 25% per $1 up to a 4% cap in compensation it is not competitive. That’s right, assuming you max the plan you get 1% of total earnings. Matching’s of $2500 @ $250k, $3000 @ 300k, etc. Health benefits are okay; slightly better than industry average. Free coffee, pop and bottled water if you care about that.

Cons

Hummm, where do I begin. Mark’s leadership team are a bunch of spineless puppets. Most of the cons have been eloquently captured below. I do not see a need to repeat them. OpenText can be a world class software company with the right leadership. But, if you are considering a career in enterprise software, I would think seriously about the move before you commit to OpenText. Steer clear while Mark B is at the helm. Everyone is accountable and NO ONE has authority, including all Mark's direct reports (EVP’s). There are plenty of employees who have departed that you can locate on LinkedIN for advice.
