Pros

What I signed on with was great, and I got shiny promises of bonuses I soon learned my managers would never sign off on

Cons

A lot of the people that helped me learn the codebase and social hierarchy have left since I joined. My raises haven't been above the cost of living increase. The safety net feels like a friend group of 40ish-year-olds trying to keep each other employeed

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!
