Pros

There are not many to speak of.

Cons

Not many. Disappointingly it is clearly not a sales culture driven company, plus add in the maniacal micro-management frrom above that is pervasive. I definitely made a mistake in not talking to many current and past AE's from OpenText. It is by far the worst culture/company I have been with in the Software industry (this is my 4th). The others have CEO's who care about sales and their contribution. I know of several peers now looking to leave so i'll start the process now.

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!
