Pros

Work life balance is good ESOP was good - 15%

Cons

The company is filled with teams came via acquisitions. They acquire good companies with A team and most of them usually quit due to poor benefits and bad work culture. It is run by old B team who usually stay and can’t find job elsewhere and don’t mind poor benefits. If you want a cool job and have no career aspirations, you will love it here. If you are ambitious, career and growth oriented, stay away. They function more like a traditional brick and mortar company and not like a Silicon Valley Tech company, so set your expectations right.

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!
