Pros

Known brand in the market

Cons

- CEO is a megalomaniac - Fear based micro management culture - Horrible benefits - well below market standard - Culture of fit in or f*** off (actual words said by CEO) - No empowerment of employees - No desire for new ideas, or innovation - Silo'd approach to working - Death by meeting culture - Only way to receive pay increase is a promotion - directly communicated by CEO on company wide call - Growing with fast paced acquisition strategy with no thought on how to integrate or how to learn from the acquired company/people

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!
