Pros

I can't think of any.

Cons

The CEO/CFO is aware of the issues raised here on GlassDoor, but openly states he ignores it. You are forced to schedule your vacation time at the beginning of the year, and you cannot carry it over. 401K is a joke. The CEO states, "OpenText is not a place to retire from." Very true. OpenText had their most profitable year ever with employees working remotely. Despite that, they want to force people back into the offices--excuse me, "centers of excellence"--as soon as possible. "We are better together" is yet another catch phrase to justify this. Workflows are convoluted. OpenText cares WAY more about processes than results. OpenText exists solely to acquire other companies. They acquire, rip out what made that company successful, and move on to the next. Once they've made what money they can from the product, get rid of it. They wonder why the talent runs for the door.

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!
