Pros

Open Text is a large company with good cash flow and has good internal systems and a vision for the future.

Cons

Open Text has absolutely no heart when it comes to employees. They treated me like a number and no regards for time invested in growing their company. I was appalled at the way that they make decisions without regard for input by those who actually know what's going on in the real world.

Pros

One can get lost in this mess of a company. How the CEO survives is a question many employees have had for a long while.

Cons

CEO decides based on the algorithms in his head what he feels should or should not be paid. In the public eye he is all for DEI yet in the background he is astonishingly unfair. I've been here for over a decade and work with many departments. My team of engineers were cut out of large deal payouts and I've heard the sales people have similar experiences. Why am I here...I am nearing retirement but feel it important to inform people what is really happening. What is most unfortunate is how this damages relationships internally and externally, massive blow to morale that had been very positive, revenue takes a huge his as momentum comes to a halt, and gererally destroys what had been working in a company for holding back some well deserved payouts...? Yet it continues for over a decade. People ask about once per quarter...why is he protected?

Pros

NONE, NEVER, DON'T, RUN and PRAY!!!!

Cons

If you are a commissioned sales person with a mortgage and bills to pay, RUN AWAY FAST!!!! The commissions are 2 months out, always wrong, true-up can take 6 months. The problem is that every check is wrong, so the "fix on the next check" is a constant rolling issue that never gets fixed. They will pull accounts from you, find reasons not to pay, and claw back something that is a year old. Commissions are always late and wrong, never get a commission report. The damn CEO is meets with the comp team to approve the commission pay outs for a 22K employee company. Talk about Micromanagement. They will screw you!!!! Don't start a sales job here, and don't dig a commissions hole that makes you never leave because they owe you too much money, they will manage you out before they pay out!!! RUN, RUN, RUN!!!!!
