Pros

Organisational push towards AI & cloud adoption

Cons

- Some products do not have enough and good work for senior technical people. - Bengaluru leadership is management driven. Only managers(non-technical) are considered leadership. There is hardly any focus on grooming technical leadership. - This state of affairs is also driven from OT leadership in US/Canada

Pros

Fair market value salary and benefits

Cons

Massively disorganized organization. Terrible ticketing systems( Service Manager 9, which Opentext now own) Too many ticketing systems, SM9/Jira and loads of other adhoc ones. Isolated staff scattered throughout the world and not in the same office, hard to collab and also leads to staff turnover as this was my main reason for leaving. Overtime and on-call pay is constantly delayed. I only recieved 5 months of this pay today instead of monthly. A significant amount of chasing tickets that are ignored or just closed without work being done.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. As the organization evolves and we go through a period of transition, there is a lot of information shared with employees, which we understand can be confusing at times, for some. Leaders have regular meetings to discuss important topics and keep abreast of the latest developments. We welcome feedback from employees to understand what improvements can be made around sharing information, as we grow.​
