Pros

Great teams with lots of talent.

Cons

We were an acquired company by OT. Outside of the expected employment trimming, they started to cut everything else. 1st it was our monitors, if you had 2 you had to return 1 so they can donate it to another acquired company. Most devs need 2 monitor to work if not 3. Then the bonuses were cut. To top it off was countless hands on meetings where the CEO would rattle his woke ideology and what ever new woke trend of the month he thought was important. If you were acquired, they will just strip out the IP and kill any other technologies that are in the works. This is a public traded company and the management handles it so with everything pointing to bottom lines, outside investment and more acquiring. Organic growth is a far dream.

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!
