Pros

- There are some really nice and talented people working for OT - Working remotely is great - Get to work with large fortune 500 companies - Positive social and culture view. The company has worked to ensure equal pay for women

Cons

- The pay is not great and raises/bonus are pitiful at 1-2% a year - 401k is awful at 1% - There is no job growth - The company is very siloed and has lots of old technologies making it difficult to support our clients needs - We sell products/solutions that we don't understand and cannot support - Retaining talent is a very real problem and the company does not seem to care. People continue to leave because the pay/benefits are lacking and the job growth does not exist.

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!
