Pros

I worked for a company that was bought out by OpenText and got to work with those colleagues majority of the time, however I left 8months after the acquisition as it was a bad environment which was the message also from C level senior management.

Cons

1. You are treated as number, poor senior management engagement. 2. No trust with upper management - insane level of approvals for a simple task required by CEO - this reflects lack of trust and a controlling CEO. 3. Poor management and little strategic direction provided, apart from numerous M&A's and churning businesses over. 4. Numerous round of redundancies - but not always handled well. 5. Uneasy working environment 6. Unacceptable work life balance and working expectations 7. 'Collaborative working' - bums on seat/micro-managing 8. No career opportunities 9. Poor compensation compared to other companies The list could go on, but I would never recommend anyone to work there.

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!
