Pros

Starting salary is high People are friendly The company has a good mission statement Between Christmas to New year's is a company holiday.

Cons

High turnover - people in my team quit like every 1-2 years, and it takes 6 months to fill the open position. That means that there is always 1 or 2 open positions at any time and the rest of the team is doing overtime to make up the work. Between 40-55 hour workweeks and never got paid overtime ever. Vacations suck because the team is always on fire. There is never any time to take vacation. Very hard to get a promotion. Very hard to get a raise. There is no such thing as a performance bonus. The work is also very tedious and not fulfilling. Hint: if you want to know which team this is, you can just go on linkedin and see the finance team that always has open positions.

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!
