      Working for Open Text was very dynamic, exciting, and raucous.

      Pros

      Great Work life balance. Very smart colleagues, core products, visionaries. Wise acquisitions from a growth standpoint. As a sales rep my compensation was fair and I did well based on performance. Great sales culture if you can stay on the bucking bull that is there post-acquisition layoffs. Great education opportunities. Entrepreneurial environment.

      Cons

      Limited resources that are in high demand. Decentralized integration strategy of acquired technologies. Acquisitions breed layoffs of legacy staff that often was doing well until uncertainties. Cliqueish, colleagues become siloed and untrusting if communication not kept in check.

      Undervalued and over worked with little in the way of training

      Pros

      The best thing about working for Open Text are your work colleagues. Unfortunately as a consultant you don't tend to see much of them as many projects are initiated and completed by the same individual.

      Cons

      Where to start... Management and leadership are foreign concepts to most "managers" at Open Text. Although they would like employees to take initiative they do not provide guideance or direction with regards to any goals needing to be achieved. Each technical consultant essentially works as their own private enterprise. Consulting methods and best practices were not shared amongst constulants nor were templated approaches used.
