Pros

1. Good exposure to latest technologies and of course it is in very few projects. 2. keep on acquiring companies and expanding products & business. 3. Variable pay is paid fully if you meet expectations. 4. Interns & freshers get nice pay. 5. Gym reimbursement(upto 12k)

Cons

1. works in acquire & fire policy. ACQUIRE new companies and FIRE employees on yearly basis 2. Most of the projects are support projects. you will be busy full day but you don't learn anything new. 3. Management takes decisions and implement overnight. 4. No work from home(Strict Policy). 5. Never get good hike in opentext. Good hike is next to impossible. 6. Cab facility is there only in Hyderbad. 7. Only one food vendor and cafeteria food is not good if not bad. 8. Management doesn't have any control here. your work/project will be decided by Management sitting in US whether you are interested or not.

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!
