Pros

For the most part everything stayed the same. Nice new coffee makers

Cons

A number of tertiary employees were laid off like IT. Since there's central IT, somewhere. It takes days, weeks to get anything resolved, everything has a workflow and it all takes approvals and time. Required to be in the office but will not cover transportation costs which is an effective pay cut. No freedoms, or flexibility to learn/grow. Everything must be tangible, you can only use your education funds for certificates or courses.

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!
