Pros

Nice office, some social activities, Free drinks, coffee

Cons

Every quarter the work place is like a slaughter house, specially if newly acquired, the layoffs keep happening to the ones getting paid too much or having performance issue, so either way you are out unless you work in the Manila or cork, Ireland.. Too many layoffs, so much work on the remaining people.

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!
