Pros

Well, if you look to work for software company that is run like a bank and innovation is synonymous with a patchwork of technologies way past its prime, be my guest.

Cons

Everyone who's working there and at least has got some brain cells left should read the book "Who moved my cheese?" I am sure you are smart and will soon enough find out, that all the good cheese is gone and what's left behind, well you know what it is. Anyway you do not need to stay there, no one will show you gratitude if you do. So move on and enjoy the taste of new Cheese! Spend $12 on the book, read it and look around you and then make a smart decision or pay a multiple of that for the professional help of a psychiatrist.

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!
