Pros

Health benefits are ok, but get more expensive every year. Good work life balance.

Cons

Frequent layoffs to improve bottom line. Annual raises, if any, will not keep up with inflation. If you are caught up in a general RIF, don't ever expect to be rehired. Company will post your job after you are gone and hire a less experienced and much younger person at a much lower salary. CEO too political. CEO talks a good diversity game, but If you are a older employee at a perceived higher salary watch your back. You may be next one out the door.

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!
