Pros

Trying to think of something. If your company gets acquired by OpenText do yourself a huge favor, and get out.

Kontras

All the great benefits we enjoyed were systematically reduced or eliminated. Then our jobs were completely changed for the worse. Everything within this company is extremely siloed and micromanaged so that they can employ lower skilled workers willing to accept less pay. If you make higher pay they will try to get rid of you so they can backfill with said less expensive resources. If you had good technology in place don't expect to receive any praise. Expect their staff with fragile egos to tell you how their standard is so much better, and ask you to dismantle and replace your solution with older outdated technology and mindsets. In your all hands meetings you'll soon realize your CEO/CTO is more of a political figure than anything else. If you don't quite understand what the company actually does, don't worry there is no elevator speech for what they do. Nobody else understands it either. It's a huge ponzi scheme. They attract investors thru growth, they take that money and buy technology companies, the acquisitions generate growth, repeat.

Pros

You get a paycheck. Some of the people are nice but don’t trust anyone.

Kontras

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!
