Pros

- Current push is for AI expertise and ingenuity - Relaxed atmosphere - Hybrid (3 days at office, 2 at home) for most employees

Cons

- All opportunities require AI skills and most are in India - In spite of AI push, many employees are lax/ambivalent about it - Shooting self in the foot--AI tools that would make process and products better are prohibited due to concerns about IP - Weak compensation and benefits, very low performance raises, even for the highest performers (non-existent for average or lower) - Global reach sometimes requires meetings at wee hours of the night/early morning

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!
