Pros

Compensation is OK, good balance between private and work life, clever and fun colleagues, working for a company that has never ceased growing on its market

Cons

No or very poor middle management No performance review No investment on People No promotion Poor integration strategy further to acquisition (pretty often have the feeling that Management is trying to put a triangle inside a square box)

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!
