OpenText reviews

Where do I start… The CEO enjoys spoon feeding liberal beliefs upon the employee base relentlessly. I accept all people and respect all beliefs, even if I don’t agree with them. MarkB should focus more on the business and cleaning up business processes than changing social norms..(unless he wants to be a politician, then he should pursue that career path). Generally company is run on micromanaged basis , with little input expected or acknowledged by management. Products are generally good but not updated. OpenText likes to say they are a cloud based company but that is not really the case. It can be said that OpenText is where acquired company product go to gradually die. Atmosphere can be toxic at times, equal opportunity is discussed but you need to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Good place to start a career, learn some skills but no long term career growth opportunities here. There are better companies for growth…

Company is a giant wad of chewing gum, consisting of smaller wads of chewing gum smashed together with the hopes that no one will see the different colors and types. Information systems are an absolute mess and a disaster, especially if you are in a smaller business unit. Its impossible to find your way around and tools are not adequate to make sense of the mess. Many times, because of the sheer number of business units, there are specific client circumstances where a salesperson from one unit is forced to sell against a salesperson from another business unit. Expenses and travel are tightly controlled and there is not an atmosphere of fun or togetherness. For a business that is reporting record profits, it seems like they do not have a direction or a plan for their sales team to grow as employees.
