Pros

It's a job that provides a check.

Cons

IT is never helpful. Pay never increases. Promotions are rare. They let go of people without knowing their importance to some roles/products. Quantity > Quality.

Pros

Supportive Team Culture: I consistently found my colleagues to be knowledgeable and collaborative, which made tackling complex deals and navigating large accounts much easier. There is a sense of belonging and mutual support among team members. Work-Life Balance: OpenText generally respects work-life balance, which is rare in high-tech sales. Flexible work arrangements are available, and management is understanding about personal commitments. Opportunities to Learn: The sheer breadth of products and services means you’re always learning something new. This is a great place to expand your knowledge of enterprise software and digital transformation solutions. Company Reputation: Selling for a recognized leader in the content management and digital experience space opens doors and lends credibility during client interactions.

Cons

Complex Product Portfolio: The number of products and frequent acquisitions can make it challenging to stay on top of everything. It requires effort to keep up with the latest offerings and integrations. Internal Processes: Like many large organizations, there are a lot of internal processes and reporting requirements, which can sometimes slow things down. Market Pressure: There are quarterly targets and high expectations, which can be stressful at times, but this is typical for enterprise sales roles Compensation and Benefits: The compensation package was not competitive, especially for high performers. The commission structure rewards those who are able to close significant deals but low compared to the market with no cost of living increase or reasonable promotion path.

A Culture of Cuts, Not Care—Hard to Recommend in Good Faith

Business Outlook

Pros

Hybrid work schedule. (Don't know how much longer this will last) Some teammates were incredibly dedicated, despite worsening conditions. If you're early in your career, you may gain invaluable experience though at a cost.

Cons

Constant restructuring, layoffs, and offshoring—zero long-term job security. Leadership is out of touch, more focused on personal branding and shareholder performance than employee well-being. Raises and benefits are weak; health coverage cost increases each year with worse benefits Morale is consistently low due to a culture of fear and disposability. Layoff process is dehumanizing: cold, silent, and handled without transparency or dignity. Innovation is limited—most work involves keeping old systems running with fewer and fewer resources.
