Pros

Paid week off holiday from Christmas Day through New Years Day… and flexibility to work from home occasionally, after that, not too much else

Cons

With another recent reorganization (this is my 4th reorganization and 5th manager in 3 years) and downsizing of more staff, the management continually puts more and more workload on less and less employees. Most of the time you can’t keep up with the workload because there are no resources to delegate the responsibilities to for help so you put in extra hours (unpaid) just to try to keep your head above water. Seems like there are always hiring freezes and salary increases are tiny, if any.

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!
