Pros

OpenText offers a stable work environment with solid benefits and a strong global presence. The company has a broad portfolio of enterprise products, which gives employees exposure to large-scale, complex projects. Work-life balance is generally reasonable depending on the team, and there are opportunities to collaborate with knowledgeable and experienced colleagues. The company is also well-established in the enterprise information management space, which provides a sense of job security.

Cons

The organization can feel quite hierarchical and slow-moving, especially when it comes to decision-making and adopting new technologies. Internal processes are often complex and sometimes inefficient, which can impact productivity. Career growth opportunities exist but may require patience and proactive effort, as advancement isn’t always clearly structured. Communication between leadership and teams can also be inconsistent at times.

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!
