OpenText Account Development reviews

12 months ago I would have given OpenText a 0/5 rating, it was just awful, micromanagement was bizarre, what was GXS was cut right back to the bone and it was nearly impossible to work in the business. That seems to have changed, we have the right level of resources and clearly our local leadership has the power to act. Some of the offshore back office functions are still ineffective and marketing needs a lot of improvement, but no company is perfect. Sadly despite regularly meeting or exceeding all my objectives, I have not had a pay rise in 4.5 years, it doesn't take much to keep employees engaged but zero pay rises are a great way to disengage people. Very easy to change. Lastly as a business we are very hand to mouth, the quarterly pressure is huge which then means we trying to drag business from the next quarter so perpetuating the issue. With 9-18 month sales cycles, this is a tough call.

Not many. Disappointingly it is clearly not a sales culture driven company, plus add in the maniacal micro-management frrom above that is pervasive. I definitely made a mistake in not talking to many current and past AE's from OpenText. It is by far the worst culture/company I have been with in the Software industry (this is my 4th). The others have CEO's who care about sales and their contribution. I know of several peers now looking to leave so i'll start the process now.
