Pros

ECM market leader, relatively high bonus percentage. flexible working environment.

Cons

Discrimination against foreign born workers. High turn over of management, 5 different managers in 3 years. Lack of career developement and no much recognition of job well done. Dismal face time and communication to direct report. Pretty much a body shop in the Global Services. Senior Management (not top) do not care much about people under them. Very bad at keeping valuable people. Low base salary compared with market rate.

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!
