Pros

I had a wonderful boss and great pay. The lower management understood the employees perspective. You were allowed flexible hours.

Cons

Constant layoffs. You never knew from month to month if you would have a job or not. They would continue to brag about hiring when they were laying off more than they were hiring. They liked to make money by relocating employees. They always seemed to layoff right before the holidays.

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!
