Pros

The company is really striving to be a leader in the enterprise information management space. They're working to compete with and be on the level of larger companies such as Microsoft and IBM.

Cons

Made up of too any companies through acquisition. It doesn't feel like one company. Most of the companies they have acquired, and there have been over 100 since its inception in 1992, still refer to themselves by their former company names. It takes a while to shed the legacy. Raises a very low to non-existent. Big complaint from most employees.

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!
