Pros

Opportunity to learn the many products we offer Work from anywhere since pandemic started in 3/20 and now to mid year 2021 Focus on cloud, content services and security are exciting growth areas, for the company and employees. This company has the potential to own the spaces it focuses on ( that we don’t already own).

Cons

Extreme micro management to the point that it is the main focus Many processes are over-complicated and sales defeating versus sales enabling Short sighted at times in focusing on all potential growth areas

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!
