OpenText Senior Software Developer reviews

Opentext is mainly interested in acquisitions and numbers, the employees are its least important resource. Be prepared to be bombarded with fancy charts and financial numbers at every all-hand meeting. Each acquisition is usually followed with a round of layoffs, you are always on your toes. Employees laid off are not replaced thanks to an on-going hiring freeze, so new tasks are dropped on you overnight without any formal training, on top of your existing ones. They brag about being an international company with offices around the world but they do not have processes in place to handle a simple employee transfer from one country to another, I went through one of those transfers and the process was disorganized and amateurish, despite given a months’ long notice that I was moving to a different country, the whole process failed at every step with HR being totally clueless, I only found out what would be my new salary and benefits hours before I started working in the new country. Leaving them was just as bad, with them taking a month to send me an empty box so that I can return my laptop, and that was after I reminded them about it.
