Pros

Free breakfast, Free Cab. Subsidized Lunch. That's it.

Cons

Junk Most company. CEO suddenly disappeared, it is said he resigned. Too many Lay offs. no Severance package. Annual hikes 0-4%. Bad Culture within teams, sub groups based on native states are formed who drive politics against people from other state. Bad teammates with Regionalism. Worse Management, no vision, no direction, just patchwork to survive. Don't join. Particularly if you are interviewed for a team coming Micro Focus acquisition, because those teams have more intense issues described above.

Pros

You get a paycheck. Some of the people are nice but don’t trust anyone.

Cons

Exec leadership is awful. Always putting out the positive party line but it is all lies. Products are so far behind competitors. No investment in product or marketing. Senior executive leadership team shuffles around their “good old boy” comrades to new roles instead of retiring them or holding them accountable. The internal politics with everyone back stabbing each other to manage up and keep their jobs. Leadership is just doing what the board chair tells them to do. It is all about self promotion vs doing the job. They like to blame the previous CEO but he has been gone a year and it has only gotten worse. OpenText likes to brand itself as top company to work for , I say STAY AWAY!
