Complexity: The extensive feature set and automation can make OpenText more complex than lightweight file-sharing or document-storage tools, requiring dedicated IT support for implementation and ongoing maintenance.

Pros

* Support teams are close knit and work well together. * As an individual contributor, there is no micro-managing other than to say that hire ups want their reports to be clean, so document your cases regularly. * Management is easy to talk to. * Good benefits. * They are focused on AI. * They give you the tools that you need.

Cons

Company motto is we are better together which means they want you in the office, so it is unlikely that remote work will be allowed in the future.

Pros

None, I come from the legacy of HPE then MicroFocus and now acquired by Opentext, HPE & MF used to be good management.

Cons

Though OT used to say we see all the employees as one, there is discrepancy, legacy HPE/MF employees are used to get fired. And the security guy and site HR will be out of the room right after you attend the layoff call with your manager. What kind of gesture is that? you give 30 mins times once laidoff and why would the HR & site admin should stand outside and see what you do next? Pathetic.

Pros

While OpenText continues to offer excellent day-to-day benefits like cab facilities and free food, there has been a noticeable shift in the corporate culture over the last two years. Historically, under Mark and Muhi's leadership, OpenText was recognized as a stable, consistent, and highly strategic acquisition-oriented company. However, recent policy changes have introduced significant operational friction. Business Unit leaders appear to be making short-sighted, misaligned decisions without thorough evaluation. Decision-making feels biased, and across the workforce, there is a clear sentiment that the company currently lacks strong strategic direction and leadership.

Cons

The organization is currently experiencing a severe gap in centralized governance and strategic direction. There is a noticeable pattern of complacency among long-tenured middle management and directors (15+ years), who have transitioned into transactional 'bosses' rather than active leaders. Instead of driving performance through data, dashboards, or clear statistics, these layers are entirely disengaged from operational outputs—delegating even minor, routine tasks downward while awaiting retirement. This environment has fostered heavy internal politics and highly biased leadership, resulting in compensation without accountability or active contribution

Pros

No pros as such The company is very very unstable.

Cons

Manager and work culture is bad They hire you and can fire you anytime! The company is very very unstable. And the team and management expect you to come to office everyday and not take sick leaves even. Please do your due diligence before considering this as an option

Pros

Average interview questions. Nice management Teamwork In general good place to work, the colleagues are great.

Cons

Almost 5 days per week in the office. It depends on which department you are if it's necessary to come in the office. I suggest remote office, but for the moment it's company policy.
