Pros

Stable company with proven solutions. CEO stepped down (fired) in August of 2025

Cons

CEO would constantly rant political rhetoric and proven hyperbolic propaganda during all of our North American company meetings. Cut-throat company that is all about the bottom line to satisfy stockholders

Pros

My immediate team was a dream. I had a great manager and immediate team. Workload was reasonable and expected...definitely had highs and lows. I fully knew that my manager respected me and valued my thoughts.

Cons

The higher up the management chain, it seemed more detached and out of touch. I think some of it may have been from the former CEO, so I'm hopeful that the environment at those levels has changed for the better.

Pros

Good products and services, good salary, and good benefits.

Cons

Too many layers of management, each demanding their own detailed reports — so you end up spending more time buried in Salesforce, building reports, and sitting in meetings about those reports than actually doing your job. There’s also a heavy “CYA” culture that trickles down from leadership, putting unnecessary stress on reps and leaving little time for real productivity. On top of that, the CEO seems to announce massive layoffs every six months, brushing them off as mere “staff adjustments,” which keeps everyone constantly looking over their shoulder.

Natural attrition

Pros

Benefits are decent. The company isn't the worse if you get hired on as a OpenText employee. You'll at least get new hardware that should work. CEO is a decent guy and at least tries to send positive messages. From a business perspective the company is well run.

Cons

If you're an employee of a company that is bought out by OpenText, be prepared for major cultural change and cuts. Prepare to be frustrated with integrating with their networks and systems. They won't give you new hardware and computers, and won't help you much with getting things to work. HR is virtually non-existent and very hard to reach - functions much like bad credit card customer service that doesn't want you to call. Communication in general is very difficult. Mid level leadership changes happen very often, as people often get laid off or leave out of frustration or fear of being laid off. Thus, many remaining managers or directors tend to look after themselves and are not supportive of their subordinates. Has a feeling of "every man for himself". Not my raises or promotions for individual contributors. If it does happen they very small and below market. Feels like the company wants natural attrition to happen because as people leave, they move those roles to Hyberdad, India, instead of back filling those roles in US or Canada. From an individual employee perspective, it's not great, especially if your company was taken over.

Pros

Good for nothing..CEO is blinded and does not care about employees

Cons

No respect for employee, laying off people just in random order. Laid off people that got over through aquisition and now rehiring for the same poistions. CEO is worst with no ethical and emotional quotient.
