Pros

good salary office free cab facility, food and snaks

Cons

unexpected layoffs, i joined in july 2025 and worked in opentext for 8 month and was layedoff. the non professional way of handling a layoff will realy hit you, one fine day they'll call you with manager , amanagers manager and an hr, the unprofessional way of conveying this to you is so bad, i wa stold my managers that as part if org resturcturing my role is effect and layoff, the hr was like in the call itself give us a mail in writting taht you are rresigning on your own if so yo will get a 1 month extra pay as compensation and a experience letter, else they will ahve to send a terminationm letter without an extra month alary, that too we have to decide within the meeting room for in person and in the calll for the employee connecting remotely

Pros

Pros was that you had a job (and not for long if they find a way to outsource your position in the company).

Cons

Cons are so many to list, but from the leadership in this company being so out of touch with his/her employees, the restructuring done in their company to save some bucks on their end was crazy brutal, firing all of their talented workers to implement automated programs that did not function properly. Overall, horrible experience with OpenText, lies upon lies when it came to growth opportunities and keeping teams in the dark, no communication what so ever. Their business practices were just plain terrible.
