Pros

Work and life balance Employees care and want to do right for each other, the products and the customers. Nice offices. Largest Canadian software company Impressed with OpenText's Culture and values

Cons

At end of the day, the company and its decisions are driven by finance and spreadsheets. There is more financial wrangling than innovation. CEO is very hands on and can come across as micro managing and a bottleneck. A bit too low level involvement with , "I have an idea" versus defining the high level direction. Still a lot of fragmentation between products and product groups, although getting better.

Pros

Friendly co workers and great leadership. The product was amazing as well. Good benefits and massages. There was lots of help and useful information flying around.

Cons

Sales process was a bit lengthy but ended well. Not too many flaws but lots of calling. There could of been more benefits like free lunch but other than that it was great.

Pros

-Office space is nice -Folks in the AD and web department are really great to work with

Cons

-You can hear a pin drop in the office (no one talks or really even says good morning) -Trying to get management approval is like pulling teeth -There really is not flexibility - you work long hours. Some say you can work "remote" but that is really frowned upon.
