Avantages
There are/was a lot of talented people who still care. It is only a matter of time before the remaining talent moves on. OpenText does has a 401K plan, this is good. But, 25% per $1 up to a 4% cap in compensation it is not competitive. That’s right, assuming you max the plan you get 1% of total earnings. Matching’s of $2500 @ $250k, $3000 @ 300k, etc. Health benefits are okay; slightly better than industry average. Free coffee, pop and bottled water if you care about that.
Inconvénients
Hummm, where do I begin. Mark’s leadership team are a bunch of spineless puppets. Most of the cons have been eloquently captured below. I do not see a need to repeat them. OpenText can be a world class software company with the right leadership. But, if you are considering a career in enterprise software, I would think seriously about the move before you commit to OpenText. Steer clear while Mark B is at the helm. Everyone is accountable and NO ONE has authority, including all Mark's direct reports (EVP’s). There are plenty of employees who have departed that you can locate on LinkedIN for advice.
