Pros

Easy to tell when senior management are lying (their lips are moving). If you don't like the current corporate strategy there will be a new one along in a few minutes (and we'll pretend the old ones never existed) Decent benefits package.

Cons

Miserable atmosphere. Good products being run into the ground. People constantly leaving, some jumping, some being pushed. No idea what the next crazy idea from the ELT will be, but it's never good, and will probably result in a lot of your hard work being thrown away. Zero trustworthy communication, and a response to any questions takes weeks or months because the most trivial of decisions are subject to CEO micro-management.

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!
