      Okay - greatest company noone has ever heard of

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people on the team are great to work with. They are collaborative and helpful Good Base pay Job stability - You can stay in sales even if you don't close any deals for a year Compliance is the best/one of the only ways to close a deal Good stock plan

      Cons

      It is the hardest company I have ever been at the close a deal. You have to jump through hoops and connect with teams to get the deal across the line. Even if you have a PO you still have challenges closing a deal. The partner team is awful. There are not many partners available for security in the traditional sense. They have to go through a distributor and they are difficult to work with. The products are terribly aged and not great. The greatest company no one has ever heard of. Compliance is the only/one of the only ways to close a deal. People sit around waiting for compliance and no one ever hits their numbers. You are only really making your base salary Compliance team is not great to work with

      Great experience

      Senior cloud service manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      OpenText is shifting to be more generous in monetary incentives recently such as providing vesting stock units, granting special salary increases to some performers or tenured employees, promoting more employees to higher roles, and rewarding employees with good annual salary increases. Culture is more relaxed, competition is not that prevalent.

      Cons

      Peak months (usually CY 1Q or 3Q) contribute to excess work, which requires either a valid Overtime hours just so we complete the deliverables.
