Pros

Fellow employees are very nice and willing to help each out. Ability to work remotely 100%. Interesting technology.

Cons

Innovation by acquisition. No time or resources for organic innovation. No respect and trust to employees. Don't expect raises to keep pace with the market or even meet cost-of-living increases. Though salaries start out at near-market levels, they will almost assuredly lag behind within a couple of years. The best talent leaves. In addition to the cuts that sometimes happen after acquisitions, the OpenText culture doesn't support retaining the best talent, and they soon leave. I repeat: no bonuses, no raises! Don't expect this to change. No career advancement.

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!
