Pros

Working at OpenText in Yehud has been a rewarding experience in many ways. The environment is dynamic, and there’s a strong sense of innovation and creativity among the team. Being part of a global company means we have access to a lot of resources and expertise, which is beneficial. I appreciate the focus on professional development—there are plenty of training programs and opportunities for career advancement, which I have personally found valuable. The company's commitment to research and development encourages us to stay on the cutting edge, which is exciting. Additionally, the company culture is generally supportive, promoting a good work-life balance and employee well-being, something I value highly.

Cons

However, there are notable challenges that can’t be overlooked. The organizational structure can feel cumbersome at times, with decision-making processes slowed by too many layers of approval, which can be frustrating. Resource allocation can also be tricky, often leading to project delays due to competing priorities and limited resources. A significant issue lies within the IT department, where the proficiency levels are often concerningly low. This lack of expertise frequently results in inefficient problem-solving, severely impacting productivity. The competitive nature of the industry means there’s constant pressure to adapt and innovate, which sometimes leads to high expectations and heavy workloads. Moreover, the company’s strategy of growth through acquisitions presents its own set of challenges, particularly in integrating new teams and technologies. These issues are significant enough that I would rate my experience a 3 out of 5, reflecting a balance of positives and areas needing urgent improvement.

Pros

While they claim to be "pro-employee" they are very much pro-Canadian employee. As long as you are a Canadian, your job should be safe. And US based role is in jeopardy.

Cons

Laying off all Americans. I do not see relevant data on location based statistics for the last 4 rounds of layoffs. The bulk of the "trimming" has been based in US. This is cost savings. Additionally, they post US based jobs for 24 hours then pull those and post H1B notifications that they could not find equivalent US resources and need to outsource for cheaper money.
