Your Future

Opportunity

Although far from being a start-up, OpenText incorporates many of the best elements of the entrepreneurial experience while avoiding its excesses. For example, the company is organized around a flat management architecture that keeps bureaucracy to a minimum. We look for and reward excellence at every level, and we place a premium on allowing people to contribute according to their abilities and competencies instead of their job titles.  We are a results oriented company, where people who are high achievers, independent thinkers, innovative, who think big and dream big, thrive!

Professional Growth

Skills, initiative, and talent get recognized at OpenText. The size of our organization means that we have the ability to handle major customers and projects — and that you will be working with leading companies around the world — but we're small enough so that you won't get lost in the crowd. Talented individuals aren't locked into narrow career tracks at OpenText. We offer a lot of flexibility, change, and growth for all individuals.

Recognition

At OpenText we expect the best and in return, we believe in acknowledgement and appreciation of achievements.  Our “Capture the Moment” program is a tool for anyone company wide to nominate a peer, subordinate or manager for an award to recognize exceptional results, efforts and commitment.

We also acknowledge the service of our employees and believe that a long career with OpenText has mutual benefits.  We celebrate the achievement of our long term employees through attractive awards and gifts.

Continual Learning

OpenText encourages employees to take an active, hands-on approach to their professional development. The OpenText intranet provides a wealth of information on continuing education. In addition to new employee onboarding, you will find a number of resources, job aids, and materials on our corporate internet. OpenText University offers "hard-skills" technical training as well as "soft-skills" training in areas such as management and project management.  Finally, we have a Continual Learning Program encourages employees to develop to their full potential, pursuing opportunities to upgrade their knowledge, skills and abilities so that they develop in their roles and careers. This program also assists eligible employees in the achievement of professional designations and membership in professional associations.

Life/Work Balance

OpenText allows employees considerable freedom and flexibility in the way they structure their professional lives. We believe that the highest levels of performance can only be attained when individuals are able to create a work schedule that balances personal and family needs.

We Want You to Succeed

Each year, all employees go through a performance management review. In addition to evaluating past performance, the review indicates areas for enhancement, provides valuable direction for professional and career development, defines performance expectations, and helps employees set short-term and long-range goals for both their current role and future opportunities and challenges.
