OpenText reviews

Compensation is low, the benefits are awful and keep going up in price. This company does not care about it's employees. The CEO will brag about record profits while you *MIGHT* get a ~1% merit increase (almost no one does). The 401K match is abysmal, and when the CEO was asked a question about it, he stated he "doesn't see OpenText as a company you retire with." YIKES! We've been successfully working remote since the beginning of the pandemic and they still want to drag everyone back to the office. They lie and say everyone is excited to be going back, despite everyone I know stating the opposite. C-level management is out of touch and only makes decisions based on self-gratification and their own bank accounts. The CEO engages in performative allyship on a regular basis.

Where to begin…..No culture whatsoever. Management’s approach is “just close the deal” regardless of challenges. Company is comprised mostly of old on-prem software products that other (better) companies spun off. Almost all successful salespeople (<20%) are employees that came over from an acquisition and actually understand this stale, unnecessarily complicated software. I’ve been here for a couple years and haven’t seen any new employee last over 2 years, in fact most last 12-18 months max…..and for good reasons. OT can’t keep up with innovation and customer demand to move to the cloud. If/when you’re finally able to find a customer who wants this stuff, good luck selling it! The internal obstacles are truly unbelievable. In closing, if you’re considering this company - honest advice is don’t. You’ll get an average salary with a pretty much guaranteed below-average experience. The company is not well-regarded by customers, analysts, competitors- so you’re not even building your resume by working here. Go work for a company that cares for their employees, can keep up with the times in technology, and doesn’t foster a negative employee experience in virtually every aspect.
