      Show offs at the top, peanuts at the bottom

      Business Outlook

      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.

      Okay - greatest company noone has ever heard of

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people on the team are great to work with. They are collaborative and helpful Good Base pay Job stability - You can stay in sales even if you don't close any deals for a year Compliance is the best/one of the only ways to close a deal Good stock plan

      Cons

      It is the hardest company I have ever been at the close a deal. You have to jump through hoops and connect with teams to get the deal across the line. Even if you have a PO you still have challenges closing a deal. The partner team is awful. There are not many partners available for security in the traditional sense. They have to go through a distributor and they are difficult to work with. The products are terribly aged and not great. The greatest company no one has ever heard of. Compliance is the only/one of the only ways to close a deal. People sit around waiting for compliance and no one ever hits their numbers. You are only really making your base salary Compliance team is not great to work with
