Pros

Great company and great technologies Great benefits

Cons

Micromanagement, leading people to burn out, lack of flexibility, the management lacks of self-awareness overall. We're getting to a point where people would rather leave without a job than being there. They refuse to hear any truthful feedback, you just get tagged as negative. HR not tackling the problem at all... It's just getting worse. Which is a shame, because what they're doing best is the hiring. They truly have amazing people. We spend our time trying to sell technologies for people to not work on spreasheet and within the company we spend hours filling those. I was almost forgetting the lack of opportunity for development... I can count on the fingers the number of people that have been promoted. Honestly, the cons just keep going.

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!
