Pros

> Stable company > "Okay" health benefits > Some growth potential > Good employee atmosphere and high respect amongst managers

Cons

> Micromanagement from top down. (Overly managed by CEO) > Typical large company controls on salary growth and value. Limited to 3% cola controls or less given your manager. > Lot of top management want "yes" people around them. > Lots of "peter principle" elevation due to brain drain. (Smart people leave for better opportunity)

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!
