Pros

Plenty of work to do if you enjoy setting your own objectives Immediate team works well together for a common goal Serious commitment from management on work life balance

Cons

Working with groups outside my immediate team can be painful and costly. There is very little coordination between teams even with all the software life cycle management tools at our hands. Concern that fellow co-workers will be lost because they no longer fit into the inclusion model and/or due to off-shoring

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!
