Pros

None that I can think of. Unfortunately, my experience here leaves no positives to highlight.

Cons

This company is where careers go to die. It will strip away your confidence, drain your mental health, and leave you questioning your own worth. Micromanagement is suffocating — every move you make is watched, judged, and criticised. Management has no clue what you actually do, yet somehow finds endless ways to undermine and demoralise you. Empty promises are made to keep you hanging on, only to be broken time and time again. The environment is toxic: shouting across the office, humiliation disguised as “feedback,” and a culture built on fear, not trust. Any image of happiness you see online is pure fiction, backed by fake or coerced positive reviews. If you want to preserve your skills, sanity, and future career prospects, avoid this place like a disease.

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!
