Pros

Great benefits and health insurance.

Cons

Where do I start? The training and onboarding is essentially non-existent, expect to have little to no guidence when learning the portfolio of products. Opentext grows through aquistion, so expect constant change and layoffs. Zero upward mobility because Directors are more concerned with having to replace a top performer, rather than advancing an employees career. Finally, Opentext is terrible at cloud deployments, their pricing is astronomical and the time it takes to get a cloud quote is weeks to months, which often times forces the customer to go elsewhere. Often times we are forced to use a partner for most deals ( especially cloud) because Opentexts professional services pricing is outrageous and takes 2-3 times longer than our partners and competition.

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!
