Pros

Outdated technology, products, services, people management, and human resources. Most of the deals are sold through sugar-coating rarely providing any concrete value. Customers are tricked into buying expensive software that rarely works. Then have to struggle their way through horrendous customer support where employees are heavily micromanaged, underpaid and overworked

Cons

You will have no future if you invest years in becoming an expert in their products, they will trick you into believing products are cutting edge with slick demos and presentations just like they do with their customers

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!
