Pros

Nice office, great people, great coffee!

Cons

Compensation and benefit package are at below market, whereas the management keeps telling employees they're above market average. Management pretends to care about employees opinions and ideas, never listens to suggestions they ask for. Also, they say internal candidates will be given advantage over external ones, well, they aren't! No decent follow-up provided when an internal candidate is refused the position either - very discouraging.

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!
