OpenText reviews

Lets detail the facts so you can formulate your own opinion to join 1. The company is a value company so the bottom line is everything! Growth, investment, innovation, employee value, all expendable to protect the bottom line 2. They buy broken and shrinking assets so by the nature of it you are selling, building, deploying solutions that exist and often decaying, are not priorities for customers or are commoditizing 3.,with commodizing solutions it's hard to sell more. So the renewal becomes everything. Power internally shifts to those teams and the field gets screwed along with customers. It's a viscous downward spiral seen by many a tech company death 3. A company like this can't attract or retain innovative and great leadership across all roles. Hence good people leave. Bad people stay.. Over the years it has resulted in a upper level leadership team that are incapable of action. Few good execs joined and now all left.. Leaving yes men 4. When you have leadership that is so mediocre then you get a command and control type structure in which the CEO dictates, monitors and tinkers with everything. This results in a paralyzed structure. It's on a scale unseen 5. The only way to keep the scheme going is to keep topping up through acquisitions faster than leaking out of the bottom. Works fine until even bad companies are expensive and then the bang moment .. It collapses

After years at HP, HPE, Microfocus and Opentext. With nothing but stellar performance reviews and leading cutting edge tech development. The back to office policies (no exception) I believe is what made me a candidate for layoffs. With CEO toughting in company meetings, that though must be in office 3 days per week. (I know it does not sound hard). However, with medical conditions, and office remodeling going on, which made bathroom facilities unavailable on the same floor, this became an issue that was in acceptable health wise. Furthermore, the use of badge in badge out was implemented initially, for Covid contact tracing. Now they have turned the reporting into, monitoring of office attendance. Something the old HP Way would have never worked out. When your role is interfacing with India, and Europe. These positions require remote off hours work as well. Inflexible management, is management simply making a hard job even harder.
