Pros

The people and atmosphere are relaxed. Decent pay and benefits for people entering the IT field.

Cons

Unorganized and mismanaged to the point of embarrassment. Sparse integrations between their own products. Cash is king, so if youre a customer that wants something fixed you better be shelling out big bucks. Every 6 months there is a budget freeze because of an aquisition. Even when the budget isn't frozen good luck trying to squeeze a dime out of upper management.

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!
