Pros

Pays well for the most part. Benefits are average. Bonuses Company grows fast because they acquire other small companies and then adapt their technology and products into their own. Causing a lot of opportunity to learn and grow, but also fear and insecurity at times, not sure what to do with products no one knows.

Cons

401k match super low, Only way to get a raise is to move up the ladder and earn another title.

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!
