Pros

Decent people to work with if they all didn't quit.

Cons

Chaos on multiple levels from the top down. Most employees are just waiting to find something better or make it to retirement to get away from the daily disaster of incompetent management. Makes you wonder who is in charge when the utility bills don't get paid. Don't expect more than a 1% annual increase in pay year over year...truly pathetic and insulting. I have watched many good people quit for little or no incentive to stay...just waiting for my opportunity to get out.

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!
