Pros

A unique content solution that dominates in Energy, Resources and parts of Finance due in large part to unequalled SAP integration

Cons

Policy of hiring 2x too many AE's saturating territories leading the vast majority of AE's to move on around the 18 month mark, some years 92% not getting target and 50% under 25% achievement. Somewhat Toxic culture of blaming that on the AE's

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!
