Pros

Only pro was I learned early on that I never wanted to work for a company that operated like they did. Seriously defective on all levels.

Cons

Upper management attend mtgs & don’t get real work done & cowtow to C-Suite. CEO is ultra micro mgr. They appear to they grow by acquisitions and then they slice many incoming jobs from acquisitions & also local groups disappeared out of nowhere- poof - all project mgrs gone overnight etc

Employees fleeing the toxic, rule by fear culture in droves

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a few good leaders spread across the company. If you are lucky enough to work for one you may have a decent experience.

Cons

The Opentext CEO micromanages top down through fear. Senior leadership is afraid to challenge or question CEO direction which has resulted in terrible morale, empty offices and a do as little as possible, just get through the day culture. New employees do not stay long as they are exposed to the toxic culture. The Opentext model consists of buying distressed companies, decimating work forces, firing the high paid experienced employees and milking the revenue............and as companies have been gutted and people trampled the stock price has risen.

Keeps my mind occupied. Very fast paced, always something new going on, opportunity to learn and move to another position.

Cons

My boss is a real piece of work. Expected to work 24/7/365, including "holidays"
