Pros

Fantastic product stack that could turn into a top 5 software company on the planet. With access to nearly all of the global 2000 and data centers around the globe, the opportunity for growth seems limitless.

Cons

The CEO rules and micromanages everything. Most employees have given up thinking for themselves as no independent thought or feed back is wanted or allowed. Management will simply say that whatever idea is presented does not align its the "OpenText Way" and that "OpenText First" is that the CEO wants even if millions will be left on the table.

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!
