Stay away: poor leadership and toxic politics

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!

Pros

Not much pros that I can think of.

Cons

Toxic culture. No Work Life Balance. Almost all 5 days in office. They will pressurize you to do work and will make you feel as you are not competent enough. Its a fear based environment. They will hire you for Java but will make you do some configuration or ERP level stuff bringing down your resume.
