Pros

- hybrid remote 2 home, 3 office days - One month a year of working abroad (within UE) - Stock for performance, pension, health coverage

Cons

- Almost all the rest. - Pay was decent the first year, losing value every year, even with increases. - It's a disorganized mess. - Frankenstein bc it loses parts and gains others, but no clear direction. - They tend to fire the more qualified and veteran people because they're more expensive. Almost without warning. Team has to pick up the slack and shut up. - They will start to focus position growth almost exclusively on the Indian sites in no time. - Stressful conditions to work, because there is no real concern to have an adequate staff size per team. Every time someone's missing, it's noticed.

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!
