Pros

I originally came here by way of acquisition, and basically kept my role, salary, leadership, etc. from the acquired company. No idea what this would look like for someone hired directly. So the pros (that mostly came with me) were: - good pay - good work-life balance - great team - interesting and challenging work (security)

Cons

This list is mostly comprised of things that _didn't_ cross over from the acquired company: - subpar benefits - no career path - general rigidity and dogmatism, where flexibility / open-mindedness would have been more beneficial to the company. E.g. they not only missed, but actually fought the opportunity to transition to a hybrid workforce model during Covid that many other companies capitalized on

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!
