      Pros

      - People are generally pretty helpful - Technology stack is recent - Good recognition of cloud importance - Compensation and benefits are probably around industry standard

      Cons

      - Some typical large company red tape to get things done or be disruptive. Necessary in today's markets - Too many 'management' levels are a big part of the problem above - Product management is on the 'weaker' side - Competing products internally - Most of the security products (and vision) acquired through Micro Focus are 'dated' with declining demand - Vacation time for new hires regardless of experience is non-negotiable - No equity

      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!
