OpenText reviews

- managers are cold and not present when in time of need - escalations, prioritizations - usually takes a day to get assistance and, after, there is a chance you may be asked to provide explanations as to why you did not respond faster -.- - no proper feedback, no salary increase - almost absent training - no tools - everything is done in excel & word - no process policies, no proper guidelines - colleagues are dismissive and lazy - architects are lazy to fill in their forms and expect you to read their minds - you're expected to do the work without any guidance - work split between teams is ridiculous: US teams handle 2 deals, EMEA between 30 and 100+ deals / head. - HR is absent - or plain lazy, disorganized. If you have issues - God bless if they respond, but will be for nothing as the information will most likely be redundant WARNING: if you join mid month or after - you will not be paid in that month, but the next and none will warn you about it. Overall- ridiculous stupid. Avoid if you want to have a healthy nervous system.

low salaries inflation was high last year, raises minimal (company perspective is "if high salaries are what draws you to your job, you may want to look elsewhere" paternalistic management (e.g. most companies have 'matching donations to any 501c3 - (1 for 1), OpenText wants employees to select from their list of charities and then can do a press release on their philanthropy) micromanagement from the top (you have to do your top in spite of the senior managers above you not because they're helpful If your company is acquired, start looking the day of the announcement because the first order of business will be 'who can be laid off'
