Pros

- 15 days of PTO to start with - 3 days for community service - Embraces diversity and inclusion

Cons

- CEO is an arrogant SJW. He is like a gameshow host. Claims to care about employees but the actions of the company don't match the message. Can only conclude he is a puppet for the board. Funny thing is he claims to value facts and data. Must be cherry picking it because the evidence doesn't support the claim. - This company primarily cares about the bottom line. Salaries and benefits are not competitive. They try to save a buck wherever they can. - High turnover. They don't treat acquired companies very well. - Acquisition focused. Lacking innovation and tech leadership. - Highly bureaucratic. The company is run like it's 1999. - Old tools and systems. - Runs extremely lean (read: understaffed) therefore work/life balance is not good. Layoffs happen regularly.

Pros

The whole company is done working at 5pm....sometimes earlier.

Cons

The whole company is done working at 5pm....sometimes earlier. The CEO is the smartest guy in the room - just ask him. Marketing and sales are not important - no program money for marketing at all. Just read their latest 10K report - they cut everyones pay at least 5% but most important also cut all the sales comp by 5% = so sales is less motivated to sell as they make less money = all the while still maintaining an increased dividend. The ONLY WAY they grow revenues are by acquiring companies - but this also adds to their debt on their balance sheet. Add to it their lack of respect or feeling they need partners - outside of SAP who resell OpenText. Unless you need a job - go anywhere else. Suspect OpenText will be acquired in the next 18 months to clean up the mess.

Pros

Working with talented, technical team members from the GXS aquisition.

Cons

Being treated like a dispensible cog in the wheel. There is much lip service about supporting women in tech, but that's all it is. A token few are trotted out. Never received approval for requested training in over three years of submitting same application - due to a manager/director supposedly having technical issues in the system to approve it.
