Good work envoirnment with lots of opportunities to learn and grow.
Great company to work for. Good work life balance. Office hours are 9 to 5 and generally I was not required to work late. The team at open text was very supportive and for any issue, you can go to any one in the team.

Good place to wrok
fast paced environment typical of a software company, with appropriate work life balance. IT and engineering focused. employees must have ability to multi task, as the company is an acquisition based environment and enw technologies are on-boarded.

Is Indeed your favorite place to learn about companies?
They dabble in acquiring legacy products.
At the ground level, you are placed in some silo department, keeping some legacy software on life support for as long as you can. If you are lucky, you are let go. If you are unlucky, you move on to the next legacy patient (product). There is so much hatred and resentment between the different acquiree companies that have been assimilated even after several years have passed since the acquisition date.
On the plus side, the CEO is always excited about new acquisitions. I wonder how documentum is doing. Oh right, the patient was moved to End of Life support.

Disorganized with no direction from management
The company itself really good but there is no direction or proper department on boarding. No guidance and proper leadership. The company is growing fast but doesn't take time to clean up the mess its creating when you merge companies together.
An Excellent place that becomes to be a Nightmare
The company had happy people, the environment was funny, but year after year the scenario changed and in the last 2 years the worst arrived. Unreachable goal, people sad, several old and knowledgeable employees are just leaving because they are tired of the all management levels. But the company management doesn't care of lose the knowledge and people who built the pillars of the company. They are losing so many people that HR no longer ask why is the reason. Customer and Investors will fell sooner the shock of this when they will not be attended or the profits goes down. The company now is postponing the raises and delay evaluations to buy a new company with focus on cloud, but even cloud team cannot hold their senior technicians. The number of people leaving now is superior of layoffs that now is aprox 80 to 90% of the cases. New employees fells alone since there is nobody to really help. Several extra benefits were cutoff.
CEO is no longer in the headquarter just stay in US having no view the destruction is happening in the main office.
In resume, less experienced people, double or triple of work for the remaining, customers upset and management playing the monkeys (no see, no talk, no listen).
Pros
Very good people
Cons
lower and upper Management, toxic environment, no raises or career growing , so many acquisitions

Excellent place to work
I did work for around 3 years and it was a good experience. I did change the role because I was offer a different position, better rate salary and good opportunity to grow, but unfortunately due to team restructure they did not open a full time posistion, so I am looking for a job right now.
Great company poor management in my area
Opentext was a great company to work for and very generous to its employees. Hard to rate because I was under a poor manager, I chalk it up to bad luck more them a whole representation of on the company. Great portfolio but has not been innovative in a while. The in-house products seem rushed and too late for market.
Pros
If you can avoid cuts they treat you very well. Great worklife balance and perks
