Pros

I have worked at OpenText for a long time. Started off in an entry level position. There were lots of growth and opportunities, before I knew it I was managing my own team and making my own decisions. It's great when a company believes in you. I love the work life balance at OpenText, espeically with a little infant. It helps to be able to work from home when I need to. The people I work with are great! I have great managers whom I have always been able to commuunicate freely with and learn from. I think I have stayed so long at OpenText becuase of the people and the opportunities the company has to offer. Other great things about OpenText is the work. It is challenging and I can honestly say I love my job. I have never been able to say that before but now I can. I am always learning skills and being challenged on a day to day basis. Continuous learning is important to me in a job and OpenText definitely offers that.

Cons

The only thing I have struggled with during all my years at OpenText is that it is hard to get a raise. I wished OpenText would be more proactive then reactive.

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!
