Pros

Same as usual, some great people to work with, great managers if you are lucky. Pretty good work life balance (workload wise, if you ignore forced commuting). Ok benefits. Good career (lateral) mobility, great opportunities to start a career in tech.

Cons

Dusty forced smile old school American corporate culture, forced RTO, average to subpar hardware, ridiculous salary hikes that you “should be grateful for”, poor recognition, very slow product development, penny pinching, etc. All of these send a clear message to employees: “don’t work too hard - you’re a meaningless number anyway”. Result, not a lot of people care… Not too bad if you’re looking for a “cruise” or pre-retirement job.

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!
