Pros

Paycheck Benefits Air conditioned office Parking garage Something to do

Cons

Too many chiefs with no ability to make decisions Everyone works in Silos No one is empowered to improve processes Want positions to reside in Canada since they are "HQ" or in Manila since it's so cheap to employ there. Company doesn't care about quality of work Company doesn't care about customers

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!
