OpenText Software Developer reviews

If you're an employee of a company that is bought out by OpenText, be prepared for major cultural change and cuts. Prepare to be frustrated with integrating with their networks and systems. They won't give you new hardware and computers, and won't help you much with getting things to work. HR is virtually non-existent and very hard to reach - functions much like bad credit card customer service that doesn't want you to call. Communication in general is very difficult. Mid level leadership changes happen very often, as people often get laid off or leave out of frustration or fear of being laid off. Thus, many remaining managers or directors tend to look after themselves and are not supportive of their subordinates. Has a feeling of "every man for himself". Not my raises or promotions for individual contributors. If it does happen they very small and below market. Feels like the company wants natural attrition to happen because as people leave, they move those roles to Hyberdad, India, instead of back filling those roles in US or Canada. From an individual employee perspective, it's not great, especially if your company was taken over.

They are working on old tech stacks Most of the days there is now work, people just come to eat sleep and talk No skill growth here There can be little biasness between team members, if you manager is from a specific culture he will only prefer to talk and give work to the people who are from there culture, for other they will maintain distance, do micromanagement for them In 1:1 managers will always make you feel bad and un wanted, and alot of criticism, they will expect you to do something extra for the company along with the work,
