Pros

Great options for working remotely. Starting salary for someone coming in from the outside is pretty good compared to the competition. Work really does end at 5 pm or soon thereafter.

Cons

OT loves to talk about how much they care about their employees and making the world a better place, but it's mainly lipservice. Among many examples, one is being told that the company isn't great about bonuses/financial incentives but that jobs are secure. That's no longer true.

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!
