Pros

OpenText offers good job stability and mature engineering practices. The work culture is relatively calm compared to high-pressure startups, which makes it easier to focus on quality and long-term thinking rather than firefighting. Compensation is steady and predictable. Work-life balance is generally healthy with reasonable expectations and limited weekend work.

Cons

Growth and promotions can feel slow and process-heavy. Career progression sometimes depends more on tenure and internal movement than rapid merit-based acceleration. Salary hikes are incremental rather than aggressive, so high performers seeking fast compensation jumps might feel constrained.

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!
