Pros

This organization follows the best Work-Life Balance. Cab facility is there for all employees free of cost. Timings from 8.30 Am till 5.30 Pm. Have rarely seen employees coming on weekends. Facilities are good. Hikes are just OK. Less work pressure. Follows Agile - Scrum. Good package at the time of joining. Leave system is very good. Managers won't stop you going on vacation and company encourages time-off. Paternal leaves and bereavement leaves are there. Other benefits are as per industry standards.

Cons

Not great increments and promotions take long time. Zero on-sites / travels in Engineering dept. In Services dept, very short on-sites. selction criteria - Interview rounds are more, but they finish it in a day.

Pros

You get a paycheck. Some of the people are nice but don’t trust anyone.

Cons

Exec leadership is awful. Always putting out the positive party line but it is all lies. Products are so far behind competitors. No investment in product or marketing. Senior executive leadership team shuffles around their “good old boy” comrades to new roles instead of retiring them or holding them accountable. The internal politics with everyone back stabbing each other to manage up and keep their jobs. Leadership is just doing what the board chair tells them to do. It is all about self promotion vs doing the job. They like to blame the previous CEO but he has been gone a year and it has only gotten worse. OpenText likes to brand itself as top company to work for , I say STAY AWAY!
