In the business of acquiring and killing good companies

Pros

Benefits are OK Fairly stable employment There are still some very great people working here by some miracle. Some of which I would enjoy working with again.

Cons

This company deals in acquiring companies, living off the maintenance fees from their customers, then letting good technology die a slow death. There is nothing here to drive or motivate employees to better their products, improve customer experience, or anything that makes a job worthwhile.

Pros

-Some of the health reimbursement benefits were good -My immediate manager was nice

Cons

-The communication is terrible. I worked for a team that had previously been acquired by OpenText, and it was wild how bad things got when we migrated to OT. Nothing was clear, no training was provided, and everyone kept trying to pass around problems rather than take time to figure it out or explain. -HR clearly cannot handle dealing with global employees (I had an HR person forget to send me a ton of forms when I started in 2021, and then I had to beg HR for an exit interview that I never got when leaving in 2022) -Getting help from any other team was impossible if you didn't already know the exact person to contact (many days were spent in wild goose chases) -I think the CEO just liked to hear himself speak. There were so many "town halls" and "all employee meetings" that didn't have any real purpose and just took up time, but if you didn't like it, the CEO made it clear that your best option was to leave -And god help you if you had any sort of computer trouble, because IT was near impossible to get in touch with (simple solutions could take weeks)
