Pros

There are none worth staying around for

Cons

While there are a tremendous amount of great employees at OpenText, the CEO drains the life out of any spark of innovation or meaningful progress by micromanaging and slowing down every little process with bureaucracy. Talented employees are leaving for better companies who actually take care of their employees. Many are no longer willing to put up with the long hours (including weekends), with pay cuts, fewer teammates and lack of willingness to invest in real employee education or adequately staffed teams.

Pros

Benefits, salary for new hires, Bonuses, Best Coworkers

Cons

Worst Bootcamp, doesn't really teaches, discusses important work details in just a day but other not important details are discussed in 2-3 days. Managers are micromanaging which is a lot of pressure for new hires. WFH situation at the moment is a big con for new hires Mentoring new hires is a joke. No one really bothers to check on you even though you are a new hire They expect you to do 4 jobs at once (Analyst, Mappr, QA, Integrator) which is very exhausting No resting allowed, a moment of no job will be questioned by manager even though there isn't any in the queue No career growth outside EDI mapping. EDI mapping isn't that used outside so good luck finding new jobs because your experience in opentext is almost obsolete outside

Pros

Weekends and holidays off. Oh, and you only spend 8 hours a day there.

Cons

Hostile work environment created by management, no incentive to do well as you'll never achieve the ridiculous bonus structure they've created (that they also can't explain to you), no true sense of leadership or direction, you'll spend most of your day being broken down, prodded and picked apart. Favoritism is a big issue and you have no creative freedom. If you can't become a clone of someone else on the team they like, there's no use for you. They'll claim to be "helping you out" but really are just covering their own backsides. Don't expect any career growth or advancement no matter how well you perform... they will ALWAYS find something to hold you back. If you are driven by moving up the ladder and jump-starting a career, definitely look elsewhere. There are a lot of fake reviews on here to make the job seem slightly better than what it is, but believe me when I say; If you work here, you will almost immediately regret your decision. You will be treated less than and punished for asking questions.
