Cons

Day-to-day work systems are unorganized and chaotic. Lot of changes and new acquisitions making hard for systems implementation to keep up.

Pros

Mostly good and reasonable people.

Cons

After years at HP, HPE, Microfocus and Opentext. With nothing but stellar performance reviews and leading cutting edge tech development. The back to office policies (no exception) I believe is what made me a candidate for layoffs. With CEO toughting in company meetings, that though must be in office 3 days per week. (I know it does not sound hard). However, with medical conditions, and office remodeling going on, which made bathroom facilities unavailable on the same floor, this became an issue that was in acceptable health wise. Furthermore, the use of badge in badge out was implemented initially, for Covid contact tracing. Now they have turned the reporting into, monitoring of office attendance. Something the old HP Way would have never worked out. When your role is interfacing with India, and Europe. These positions require remote off hours work as well. Inflexible management, is management simply making a hard job even harder.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, your feedback is highly valuable for us. You are correct that we have a flexible hybrid model and over time, we have seen that while virtual work has undeniable benefits, coming into the office brings about more creativity, innovation, and collaboration. We do remain flexible and there is also a process for colleagues to request becoming remote workers, and accommodations are granted. As the company expands through acquisitions, there will inevitably be some overlap in roles, necessitating adjustments to the team structure to maintain the right skill distribution across various business areas. Whenever such changes occur, we make a concerted effort to inform employees at the earliest possible juncture, adhering to legal obligations. Our goal is to assist team members in exploring opportunities within different segments of the business, should their roles be affected by restructuring. Wishing you the very best in your future endeavors.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us, we are glad you had a rewarding experience at OpenText. As our company grows through acquisitions, there may naturally be some duplication in roles, prompting us to reevaluate the team structure to ensure an optimal distribution of skills across different business functions. We are committed to promptly communicating any such changes and our aim is to support team members in discovering potential opportunities in alternative areas of the business, should their roles be impacted by the restructuring. We wish you success in all your future endeavors.
