      Pros

      Pros are dwindling day by day under the CEO leadership. Open text used to be fiscally responsible, but now management just cuts to show a better bottom line.

      Cons

      Company wants to cut staff to show less losses, but cannot keep up with customer expecttions as it is. Wants to be a leader in cloud offerings at the expense of everything else and the CEO talks about being the best place to work. He doesn't even understand his culture, products or people, yet he has time to scrutinize resumes. He has created a huge culture of fear at Opentext, which is very counter productive.

      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!
