Pros

If you work, you get a paycheck. Whether or not your peers invest any effort in the same does not matter, as you will still be paid the same as the bottom of the barrel employee.

Cons

-CEO advised he could hire a “click-farm” to raise Glassdoor rating reviews. Don’t let it fool you. -Constant Layoffs -Yearly “merit” increases hang at 1% or less. (Overall Inflation was up 5.6% in 2021, so you will continue to make less and less than you did the year before, regardless of effort or achievement in your work group.) -Acquire and Fire mentality. There is no innovation. Products come here to die. -If you can be replaced with someone cheaper, you will be—even if you received company awards and acknowledgement in the days and months before your termination. -Diversity = a team of white men who consistently speak (mow) over their female counter parts on a daily basis. -Unconscious Bias and Sexual Harassment training is only there to “check the box.” Women have been referred to with pet names in my presence. -The expectation is that you work until you die. - Flexible work arrangements are touted as possible, but are rare. The number crunchers in facilities over estimated the amount of office space required for employees, so there is a major push to return workers to the office. -“Keep your head down” is the mantra to ensure you don’t make the short list for termination.

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!
