Pros

Great team spirit, great products and very interesting customers and projects lower and middle management ist very supportive and this is where the money comes from great flexibility in working time

Cons

decisions of CEO and upper management are quite poor and not understandable - very high level ideas (great visions) but ability to execute is bad lot of product problems but no one wants to know about it --> employees and lower/middle management get it on track on their own

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!
