      Incompetent Management, serial acquirer, and toxic culture

      Pros

      None whatsoever. I was part of an acquisition, and they laid off our IT department, and then gradually dismembered the rest of the organization, but they retained all of the male salesmen who are utterly worthless and devoid of any real knowledge or skills.

      Cons

      If you're acquired by OpenText, just do yourself a favor and quit. They support some of the worst environmental polluters and civil rights abusers on earth (Oil and Gas in Saudi Arabia and often brag about their relationship with the Saudi Crown Prince). They say they promote diversity, but for OpenText, that seems to only apply to gender, but it's just propaganda.

      The Bliss of Company Policy Ignorance

      Pros

      Maybe the stock plan, but given how the company purchases nearly every struggling platform they see as a fit into their cloud offering not sure how long it will be a pro.

      Cons

      Management renege on promises to employees during performance reviews as HR changes the performance guidelines every 6-12 months to get out of them. So HR constantly moves the goal line when it comes to the next performance review. Or HR states it has no budget to give the employee who makes their performance objective a promotion or raise while the company goes out and spends millions on another company to acquire. Also in nearly all positions, if not all, working a 60 hour week is expected, if not more. The company also uses a completely outdated pay scale to determine employee pay in a particular location, while other companies pay the same resources what they are worth. This is causing the company to suffer a significant loss of talent.
