      Pros

      Spread across multiple geographies. And movement within the company is relatively easy

      Cons

      Every 2 weeks, we get to see our CEO, speaking with all the latest tech Jargons, like AI, ML, Quantum computing etc, with Hollywood level video production quality and all the bells and whistles, just like Tim Cook or Sundar Pichai. But the fact is, we are all underpaid mediocre folks with mediocre product portfolio. Forget about the hikes, my salary actually got reduced this year as they removed the bonus component from my salary (my company was acquired by OT). In just last 12 months, I have seen 20% lay offs in my product which is already ultra lean in its workforce. Did I tell you, they dont even have an IT department, to manage the computers? But they never forget to take their top leadership to Vegas, Malta, France etc every month for one or the other glitzy sales events/conferences.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us! At OpenText our compensation & benefits policies and programs are reviewed regularly to ensure they align with market rates and local legislation. In addition, As the company grows through acquisition, there will unavoidably be some duplication in roles which may lead to team structure rebalancing to ensure that the appropriate level of skill is attributed to each area of the business.

We try as much as possible to support team members in finding opportunities in other areas of the business, should their areas be impacted by restructuring.

      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!
