      Pros

      Unfortunately I have nothing to mention.

      Cons

      I would not recommend this company to others. The combination of a dying software products, micro-management style of leadership, lack of diversity, limited work flexibility, and a scattered product focus make it a challenging place to work. I would also caution anyone under the age of 40 to stay away from this company. Don't waste your time. You can't grow here. While the CEO may seems to be knowledgeable, there is a distinct lack of diversity and perspective within the organization. This can lead to a stagnant work environment that is not conducive to growth or innovation. Additionally, the salary offered by company is below market standards.

      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!
