Pros

Great teammates & coworkers Mature processes Good HR structure and general onboarding Areas of product focus seem successful A good place to learn how to do your job in a big organization on a big stage Great communication from the execs Professional environment Product lines exist in relevant markets - good exposure

Cons

OpenText approach is pervasive - one size fits all Inability to innovate (classic innovators dilemma problems) Mature processes can be decades out of date Process can be far more important than actual outcomes Has some odd looking history of buying business units, underinvesting and then putting the products out to pasture No Program Management discipline( Product and Dev Managers manager fill in here and it can be painful) If you do work here - take the good learnings (and there are a lot) but make sure not to carry the "process things to death" part with you to your next job

Pros

Leadership provides clear direction on goals. There is a lot of development available (you just have to sign up for it). Like any sales organization, there is always a focus on what you are selling for the month, quarter, year…but you have the autonomy to run your business as you see fit in order to get to your numbers- meaning, you can focus on different products/solutions as long as it’s leading to wins!

Cons

If you don’t like the pressure of sales, it can be tough. As per above, the autonomy that is provided can be a downfall if you are not disciplined. Your hand will not be held through training- you have to go out and sign up for it, and work through it like a grown-up.

Pros

Good benefits, vacation policy, training. Seldom had to work overtime, good work life balance. Friendly employees, upbeat work culture.

Cons

Like most jobs in IT, the work load can be heavy if the person is un-able to manage one's deadlines. Good communication between colleagues and superiors is required.
