Pros

1. It is a company with a lot of financial discipline. They are good at acquiring and merging companies. 2. Acquired companies are turned into +ve margin and the client base is used to upsell other OT products. 3. The Perks and benefits are good. Example is travel to office and amenities in the offices. 4. Great for freshers and people to learn the technologies.

Cons

1. Slow growth in terms of career. Not for people who seek fast growth and would want to move into management or leadership positions. 2. Compensation at higher levels is average. They hire a lot of freshers and juniors and expect senior people to move on. Not a bad thing given this is a company that pays a lot of attention to financial metrics. 3. Not much innovation happens here. They acquire, maintain, support other products/companies.

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!
