      Pros

      Work culture is just OK. If you know how to manage without putting any efforts and pretend like working, then its good place for you. You should not make the task to look simple by putting more efforts. You should reports lot of issues while working on a task and should resolve them by taking lot of time. The you will be lauded like you are genius. :)

      Cons

      Worst management. More number of managers in a team than the team members.. Everyone wants to earn salary by making the chosen person in the team to work hard. No promotions. New people get good position in the team. Old employees who got best performance rating are reporting to new employees who dont have capacity to justify the role.

      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!
