Pros

There is work - life balance, a cool office, free gym in office + Outside Gym membership reimbursements, Annual free health heck up, health insurance for your family.+ work from home. Most teams are product teams with good architects and good products. Most of the work is arround Java tech stack. Udemy account from which you can learn some courses for free. In house training on general technologies. Reimbursements for successful certifications upto 45000/-

Cons

Some products would be in maintenance mode. there might not be much active development for these products. Hikes are low and mostly single digits. this varies with teams. Opentext is a conglomerate. They have grown their Indian presence through acquisitions.So each product is actually a different company. Their practises varies. So ask about your role. Check how they actually operate before you join the team. No cab facility in bangalore less team lunches and outings. cafeteria options are very less and cafeteria exist for name sake only. Some products use 3rd party softwares , and out dated technologies.

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!
