Pros

Pros - very flexible working time, management helps you learn and encourages professional development through performance reviews. Ability to self-manage and direct. The flexibility is key and accomplishments are noted.

Cons

Glass ceiling, like any company, you have to involve yourself in office politics to get ahead. Concern that the turnover is very high if you promote too far ahead, you risk losing your job. Quietly support PD but when it comes down to completing it, seems that it's mostly talk. Salary seems stagnant, told we cannot receive raises although the company is hitting highest profit margin to date.

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!
