Employees are just numbers on a spreadsheet

Anonymous employee

Pros

Chance to work from home, good work/life balance.

Cons

No career opportunities, no chances to meet management, no respect for your work, you are just considered as an entry in a spreadsheet. Open Text is a black hole which keeps making acquisitions, firing the most part of acquired employees and making the acquired products dying.

Aggressive acquisitions lead to mixed direction

Pros

Bright and talented workforce. Competitive compensation with manageable work and life balance. Solid and proven products being sold speak to success.

Cons

Lack of executive direction. Client relationship management is poor. Short term vision in all client transactions. Support functions are a mess because of the constant acquisitions.

Share Holder Value Focused Company / Not Customer or Employee

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Steady work and management leaves you alone as long as the customer is happy and projects are on schedule and under budget. Lots of opportunities if you seek them out and network. Lots of great in-the-ditches / behind-the scenes employees keeping the services running that are largely way over-shadowed by vocal sometimes pompous Marketing and Sales driven management.

Cons

Sales over-sells and over promises to make sales numbers. Employees / every-day workers have to clean up ill conceived contracts to make-it-happen. Company is 75% Share-holder Value focused 20 % Customer Focused and 5 % Employee focused. Open Text is clearly a different corporate culture than GXS and probably other acquisitions. Sr Management is mainly focused on Growth and More Growth and therefore changes and probably layoffs for some who can't adapt.
