Pros

It’s a slow paced culture without a lot of micro management at the mid level. There really aren’t a lot of people trying to climb the ranks and as such, social politics are low.

Cons

Salaries aren’t given equally. For the same role and on the same hire date, an Asian woman was given a lower salary than the white women and men hired on the same job requisition . And the Asian woman had the most experience out of the three women... similarly, an Asian man stepped into one of these roles and also got the same lower salary as the Asian woman....but not close to the salary of the white woman (with less credentials). So it’s obvious that OpenText values white workers over the Asians. I guess they’ve tried to rectify that by hiring an Indian woman as CFO but they’ve got a long way to go for salary parity. Yes, people do discuss their salaries and most people on a team know how much their peers make. So it’s a shock when we learn that the Asians make less in the same role.

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!
