Pros

decent office space - generous coffee selection -

Cons

lack of communication - real communication - they are great at presenting feel good stories - but forget about getting guidance and goals for the company. Seems like the acquisitions are buy it and forget it after thought. You know like all those trinkets you pick up at the local swap meet or flea market. never to be seen again. I believe Forbes said - slow death of 1000 cuts.

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!
