Large organization that loses its remote staff

Pros

Good compensation with some very talented staff and people who will often go the extra mile, just not enough of them

Cons

No career support or growth, you're on your own! Poor HR and internal support, they are only interested in the companies interests, not it's employees Ever changing staff Lack of strong middle management and guidance especially if you work remotely.

Brand is gaining visibility but offers don't progress

Pros

Wide scope of products addressing information management needs. SAP channel brings awareness. Good financial health.

Cons

OpenText priority is to acquire (expensive) new companies and no longer to improve acquired products. Integration of the various acquired products under a same umbrella stopped years ago. The EIM message is well broadcasted outside, but inside, it's a different story : products are distributed between different business units, who do not cooperate and sometimes compete against each other ; solutions adopted for internal purpose don't even leverage the content management solutions of the company (CRM, expenses management, marketing assets management...).

Pros

1. Customers are always happy, which in turn creates a more positive work environment...... 2. Coworkers are smart, open minded and EXTREMELY helpful! Haven't come across a "bad attitude" yet and I actually like to come to work every day..... 3. Benefits are also great (especially compared to those of most US companies).... 4. Salary is ok.... 5. Management is always open to suggestions and is very "fair".... 6. I can go to dr's appointments, go on vacation, etc. without negative pressure from management. They actually encourage us to use our vacation, instead of making us feel bad about taking off.

Cons

1. Compensation could be better..... 2. Middle management doesn't seem too involved in growth sometimes...... 3. As someone else mentioned there wasn't a great process for performance review, however this has started changing in the past month or so.... 4. Also the company tends to acquire more than they produce native applications, but again this seems to be changing as we make a shift towards cloud offerings..... 5. On board training needs more structure.... 6. Doesn't seem like many opportunities exist to move up, at least from a sales perspective
