Pros

Salary is competitive Great teams across the organisation - support when needed Good Benefits Large portfolio of Products to sell

Cons

Lack of progression - not based on merit but rather on who you know Disjointed information - there is a central source for information but this only caters to one facet of the organisation eg sales uses one system, renewals uses another, PS uses a third system so there's a lack of information sharing between teams

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!
