OpenText Response

Thank you for your feedback. 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.

Never join Documentum Bengaluru team if you are not a Tamilian / Telugite /Malayali

Business Outlook

Pros

Absolutely no pros if you are not a Tamilian / Telugite /Malayali

Cons

Starting from the Top Managemnet in Bangalore, the pecking order is held by Tamilians/Teluguites/Malayalis. Promotion for Tamilian / Teluguite/Malayalis happens at such a faster pace that it keeps happening every 2 years . It's not the same for others and goes for more than 5 years. Others have to slog here, while just attendance is sufficient for Tamilian / Telugite /Malayalis. Some teams only have Tamilian / Telugite /Malayalis.

Business Outlook

Pros

- People are generally pretty helpful - Technology stack is recent - Good recognition of cloud importance - Compensation and benefits are probably around industry standard

Cons

- Some typical large company red tape to get things done or be disruptive. Necessary in today's markets - Too many 'management' levels are a big part of the problem above - Product management is on the 'weaker' side - Competing products internally - Most of the security products (and vision) acquired through Micro Focus are 'dated' with declining demand - Vacation time for new hires regardless of experience is non-negotiable - No equity

OpenText Response

Thank you for your feedback. At OpenText, we provide continuous development opportunities for our leaders, to ensure they support and manage their teams efficiently to foster progression. Overall, we hear that team members work closely and efficiently with their managers, so we are sorry to hear that this has not been your experience.
