Pros

Not much to see here. Move along.

Cons

I believe that the web site best describes the company as depicting that the company: As many readers will be aware, at this point, OTEX has made its living acquiring the cats, the dogs and the rats of the enterprise software world, and if not transforming them into high-luster properties at the least executing a strategy that allows the OTEX to retain a high proportion of the revenues of its acquisition (usually between 70%-80%) and to transform the acquired businesses such that those revenues reach the company’s business model margins in a year or so

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!
