Pros

Honestly other than some layup deals from existing customers that need additional functionality, can’t think of any

Cons

Where to begin…..No culture whatsoever. Management’s approach is “just close the deal” regardless of challenges. Company is comprised mostly of old on-prem software products that other (better) companies spun off. Almost all successful salespeople (<20%) are employees that came over from an acquisition and actually understand this stale, unnecessarily complicated software. I’ve been here for a couple years and haven’t seen any new employee last over 2 years, in fact most last 12-18 months max…..and for good reasons. OT can’t keep up with innovation and customer demand to move to the cloud. If/when you’re finally able to find a customer who wants this stuff, good luck selling it! The internal obstacles are truly unbelievable. In closing, if you’re considering this company - honest advice is don’t. You’ll get an average salary with a pretty much guaranteed below-average experience. The company is not well-regarded by customers, analysts, competitors- so you’re not even building your resume by working here. Go work for a company that cares for their employees, can keep up with the times in technology, and doesn’t foster a negative employee experience in virtually every aspect.

Pros

Salary, people, benefits, products, growth.

Cons

200K target for all executives despite the geographical location. Obviously the AE assigned to London is laughing.

Pros

OpenText has a worldwide reputation that presents a seemingly great view of their company with tons of high profile customers. The CEO provides a very inclusive atmosphere. Managers are realistic and understanding. Pay is on par with many organizations.

Cons

Company is a giant wad of chewing gum, consisting of smaller wads of chewing gum smashed together with the hopes that no one will see the different colors and types. Information systems are an absolute mess and a disaster, especially if you are in a smaller business unit. Its impossible to find your way around and tools are not adequate to make sense of the mess. Many times, because of the sheer number of business units, there are specific client circumstances where a salesperson from one unit is forced to sell against a salesperson from another business unit. Expenses and travel are tightly controlled and there is not an atmosphere of fun or togetherness. For a business that is reporting record profits, it seems like they do not have a direction or a plan for their sales team to grow as employees.
