Pros

If you can work in some projects without any influence of the local board you can get some good results.

Cons

There is no competence to delivery what is sold. Micromanage. The actual Brazilian board is more interested in know about what the employees do than in help their team to reach its goals. Really old culture based on conflict and internal competition. There is no strategy and knowledge about Brazilian market.

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!
