Pros

Good basic salary luring in people to work for them Good it equipment Private medical and dental

Cons

Micromanagement Scare tactics Commission not paid after leaving I worked myself off to make the team successful! A global award was given to me, and I was promised my commission for Q4. Guess what. I left half way through next Q and received nothing! 300% of target, best EMEA numbers, one of the best 3 worldwide and I get zero! Avoid, unless you like being micromanaged and being part of the cult of one person who doesn’t care about the employees. I am disappointed to say the least. No way to get promoted unless you have been with them for 18 months and are part of the happy clapping gang

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!
