Pros

OpenText employees are some of the hardest working colleagues I've worked during my career. Most are very helpful and genuinely work to make the company successful. Most mid-level managers are willing to help your career through recommendations to open management positions or other areas within the company that might be of interest to you.

Cons

C-Level executives (CEO, CMO, and others) were incompetent during my tenure. The CEO (2024) was a micro-manager, getting involved with any decision over $20K. The culture was report, report, and more reports (weekly). I spent over 60% of my time doing reports, which made it hard to get anything done. Everything required approvals (all the way to the top). My role interacted with many of our C-level execs and they were basically yes-men followers (not leaders). The CEO was removed by the board about 9 months after I left, but I'm hearing from old co-workers that the company is still dealing with the fallout of the previous CEO.

Pros

Overall a good company with a great team, operating at scale and providing opportunities for promotion.

Cons

Lack of a clear technical strategy. The portfolio has been built largely through technology acquisitions, leading to overlapping offerings and customer frustration.
