Pros

- Fair Benefits - Remote Work Available - Good Work Culture Within Team

Cons

- Regular waves of lay-offs that often include veteran, high-value team members and promising new-hires. They feel randomly decided and come often enough to erode any feeling of job security. - Often ordered to switch very quickly and haphazardly from commonly used systems/software to hastily developed, in-house systems/software before those systems are fully polished. In my experience, these changes over time have slowly chipped away at the efficiency of my workflow. Despite workarounds, optimizations, and experience, it takes me almost twice as long as it did 3 years ago to accomplish many of the same tasks, all for no tangible benefit other than saving on a few software licenses.

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!
