Pros

Just the pay that makes you stay.

Cons

The ADE BN team has developed a reputation for its highly controlling and stressful work environment. There's a pervasive atmosphere of fear, with employees speaking in whispers about management, worried about job security. The level of scrutiny is intense, with expectations to account for every minute of your workday. The human element is completely overlooked, as employees are treated more like machines, with little regard for their well-being. Even when targets are met, there is still the threat of termination. The leaders patrol the workspace like overseers, monitoring conversations and restricting interactions between colleagues. Participation in company events is discouraged, and there's a noticeable bias within the team.

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!
