Pros

Team and managers are good. Work life balance is there.

Cons

Salary is not competitive. For a product base company, HR has too much say rather than Manager. It’s a service base company with the tag of product base company Only CFO, CEO approves all the small financials or related decisions. No employee appreciation rewards as those needs more explanation by manager to upper management.

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!
