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. As and when these changes may happen, information is provided to employees as early as possible in line with legal requirements. 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.
