Pros

As hard as I try to think of some pros, I really can't come up with any.

Cons

- no innovation at all - all products are merely on life support to wring every last maintenance dollar from products that were innovative 10+ years ago - executive management is terrible - <10% of sales reps make quota - turnover is extremely high - anyone who was good has left (most right after their company was acquired into this mess

Pros

Known brand in the market

Cons

- CEO is a megalomaniac - Fear based micro management culture - Horrible benefits - well below market standard - Culture of fit in or f*** off (actual words said by CEO) - No empowerment of employees - No desire for new ideas, or innovation - Silo'd approach to working - Death by meeting culture - Only way to receive pay increase is a promotion - directly communicated by CEO on company wide call - Growing with fast paced acquisition strategy with no thought on how to integrate or how to learn from the acquired company/people

Pros

Pros-Guidance Software, Inc. was a family. I have no pros for OpenText due to the lack of communication.

Cons

The downsizes with this company?? There are many but the number one is VALUE, they do not value the talent or employees they acquire.
