Pros

Working at OpenText offers a dynamic environment where professionals gain exposure to cutting‐edge enterprise information management solutions and work alongside talented, innovative peers. The company’s strong commitment to continuous learning and career development creates ample opportunities for professional growth, while its global presence fosters a diverse, collaborative culture that enhances problem-solving and creativity. Employees often appreciate the competitive benefits and the chance to contribute to projects that have a significant impact on industries worldwide.

Cons

One challenge noted by some employees is the presence of bureaucratic processes inherent in a large, established organization. This can sometimes result in slower decision-making and reduced agility compared to smaller, more startup-like environments, potentially hindering the rapid execution of ideas and the flexibility that some professionals might prefer.

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!
