Pros

OpenText offers a reasonably competitive salary and great benefits package and flexible work hours. Nice offices and good IT equipment available for employees.

Cons

The product lines are hard to understand. There are too many similar or competing products. There are very few minorities and women in upper management (Vice President or Director) roles. Better salaries are offered based on gender. Raises are rarely offered (e.g. one raise in 6 years). Senior directors hired from companies like CA, Nortel, Oracle etc. brought in their cronies and "Old Boys" network attitudes and as a result many key people have left. More defections will come once the economy gets better.

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!
