Pros

Great Work life balance. Very smart colleagues, core products, visionaries. Wise acquisitions from a growth standpoint. As a sales rep my compensation was fair and I did well based on performance. Great sales culture if you can stay on the bucking bull that is there post-acquisition layoffs. Great education opportunities. Entrepreneurial environment.

Cons

Limited resources that are in high demand. Decentralized integration strategy of acquired technologies. Acquisitions breed layoffs of legacy staff that often was doing well until uncertainties. Cliqueish, colleagues become siloed and untrusting if communication not kept in check.

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!
