Pros

Some very, very good people and technologies to work with. Compensation and benefits were also good in my role (Services Business Development).

Cons

Some turf wars and being disconnected from HQ. No real thought applied to making decisions when restructuring (my job was eliminated on the day I landed the largest services deal in AB for the year). Their product portfolio still needs a lot of work to be fully integrated.

Pros

You get a paycheck. Some of the people are nice but don’t trust anyone.

Cons

Exec leadership is awful. Always putting out the positive party line but it is all lies. Products are so far behind competitors. No investment in product or marketing. Senior executive leadership team shuffles around their “good old boy” comrades to new roles instead of retiring them or holding them accountable. The internal politics with everyone back stabbing each other to manage up and keep their jobs. Leadership is just doing what the board chair tells them to do. It is all about self promotion vs doing the job. They like to blame the previous CEO but he has been gone a year and it has only gotten worse. OpenText likes to brand itself as top company to work for , I say STAY AWAY!
