Pros

The whole company is done working at 5pm....sometimes earlier.

Cons

The whole company is done working at 5pm....sometimes earlier. The CEO is the smartest guy in the room - just ask him. Marketing and sales are not important - no program money for marketing at all. Just read their latest 10K report - they cut everyones pay at least 5% but most important also cut all the sales comp by 5% = so sales is less motivated to sell as they make less money = all the while still maintaining an increased dividend. The ONLY WAY they grow revenues are by acquiring companies - but this also adds to their debt on their balance sheet. Add to it their lack of respect or feeling they need partners - outside of SAP who resell OpenText. Unless you need a job - go anywhere else. Suspect OpenText will be acquired in the next 18 months to clean up the mess.

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!
