OpenText Software Assurance Engineer reviews

Terrible work life balance - Come to office 3 days a week else a mail will be sent. They have started monitoring attendance. Low pay and no increment - I got a 14 percent hike after 2 years of hard work even after getting recognition many times. Office politics - Managers are partial and give special privileges to friends and neighbours. Layoffs - They layoff because their product is in loss and they don't lay off their friends. Politics all over. Micromanagement - Strict office time. You have to be in office 10 to 4.

So you have just been bought by Opentext. This is my experience. First be expecting people to be made redundant about ever 3-6 months. I continued to work for Opentext for 4 years after being bought and in the time i saw 8 rounds of redundancies. After 4 years the team i worked with had over 75% of the people made redundant (or they have left because OT is not a nice place to work ) and replaced with much cheaper alternatives overseas. If your company was on the cutting edge or was inventing and pushing new technologies, expect that to stop. Opentext just want to make the money back they spent buying the company and do that by maintaining the contracts they currently have. Not a dime will be spent adding to the product they bought you for, it is full on maintenance mode from now on.
