There is not large transparency of organizations attainment. Most quota attainments are from large one-off deals.

My overall experience with OpenText was terrible. The single worst company I have ever worked for. The integration plan after the acquisition of MicroFocus was poorly thought out and short sighted. The bloat at the Sr. Leader level created a power struggle between segments and product lines, leaving some teams with no resources or support. In the Mid Market we had no...Read More

My role was in the ADM/DevOps segment. Products date back to the early 2000s and are very well known. Issue was that quota was set to high based on existing IB of the accounts. Only real play was moving customers to new licensing models which is more of a financial play. Still a chance you can make some $$ in ADM, but depends like most roles on territory and...Read More

it's not a good place to work, only the ECM works fine, all other BUs are struggling. Management seems to have no vision after the MF acquisition. A lot of stress and no option to reach the targets.

I’ve never quite experienced an environment like this. Marketing is completely ineffective, the company has a poor relationship with channel partners, renewal price hikes are so steep as to cause animosity with the clients, and management seems to not understand what’s really going on at the field level, preferring to just blame reps for poor sales traction instead...Read More

Overall, it is a good company with competitive salaries and favorable working conditions. The company culture feels outdated, and opportunities for career advancement are limited. Meritocracy is virtually non-existent; progression depends more on how well you get along with your manager and your willingness to embrace an entrenched corporate culture—something that...Read More

No Training, on your own. Micromanagement form CEO down. Commissions are paid two months out and are always wrong. Adjustments are a least four months out and are rolling because every month is wrong.

Don’t expect them to pay you on time. If your commission is wrong it’s going to take them another 60 days to fix it minimum. Convenient that it only happens on large commission amounts…

They have so many business unit. It depends which team to sell for and what territory you get, some BU aren't evolving and being competitive to current market, hence they are losing somewhat recognition in an specific sector.

This company is full of back stabbers and cliques. Constant management turnover and if you are not one of the gang, good luck. I was extremely successful my first three years and when a new manager was brought on I suddenly had a greenfield patch and given 6 months to generate quota. His "boys" where given the accounts with opps and if not one of them, tough luck.

Overall OT is a decent company to work for. Leadership and vision is great and their efforts to innovate are starting to show. That said, the reputation amongst current customers is low due to some interesting revenue tactics of years past that burned bridges with current customers and drove them away. Also, the inbound lead and demand generation are seriously...Read More

Good entry position to get your feet wet in Tech Sales. The OTE is on par with the market, the product market fit is good, but the sales cycles can be quite long due complexity of the product, integrations, stakeholders involved. Career progression is quite slow and can take up to two years to become an Account Executive. Some Business Units are better performing...Read More

This company does a really good job of catering to this modern ideology of DEI. But in the end, the ELT does not actually care about its people whatsoever. No matter how much you produce or how unfair an outcome of a situation may be, they always make the decision that is in the best interest of the company's bottom line. Even if the end result is that "top talent"...Read More

OpenText is a global and quite well respected BIM organisation, but over the years there have been many acquisitions, some of which have not been well or properly integrated. Consequently, some of these are still offshoots, so do not receive adequate investment or product marketing.

Little to no development or support. Little to no market demand. Partners and marketing don't generate opps. 90% of my dept has been laid off, fired, or quit since the acquisition in '23, including directors and VPs. Has not been a positive experience.

Leadership does not care about sales. They care about predictable costs. Intentionally oversized quotas meant to give executive team a predictable cap on what they will have to pay out to sales. Worst org I have ever worked for with open disdain for their employees.
