Pros

Do your job, and for the most part, management won't bother you

Cons

Politics - I'm really tired of management saying one thing in public during town hall and all-hands meetings, then behind closed doors the opposite. Don't preach thinking outside the box, helping sales, and going beyond your role if you are only going to shoot down every idea or slap someone on the wrist when try to go above and beyond to generate revenue. Compensation - No Bonus structure and pitifully small raise pool. If you are in a delivery role, don't expect to be rewarded for hard work. They instituted a program to acknowledge other employees, but management is scared to use it in fear they will be seen as spending too much money and breaking budgets. Make sure you ask for larger salary up front.

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!
