Pros

The company offers a structured and process-driven environment, which can be beneficial for those who prefer clear expectations and workflows. Access to resources and tools is generally good, and the scale of the organization provides exposure to enterprise-level operations. Some teams and colleagues are supportive, and there is potential to gain experience with large-scale systems and global clients.

Cons

There is a noticeable culture of micromanagement, particularly when it comes to in-office presence. Being closely monitored makes it feel like the company doesn’t fully trust its employees. The office atmosphere is lacking — there's minimal energy or collaboration, and it often feels quiet or disengaged. Limited focus on employee morale or team-building, which can make it harder to feel connected or motivated. Flexibility is not always encouraged, which can affect work-life balance depending on the team you're in.

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!
