Pluspunten
An interesting segment focused on technology with fingers in several different commercial tools. If you're interested in this area, this company has numerous projects to work on! Decent benefits and decent pay for those that fight for it. Offices all over the world.
Minpunten
The company has taken on megacorp practices, dramatically changing the tech culture that is so heavily desired by most in this space. This is more akin to standard megacorps than anything else you'll experience in the tech space. Pay and benefits are lacking in a lot of regards. Definitely not keeping up with inflation, nor market demands, they believe they can continue doing business as is, without improving their compensations. This is particularly true if you're not very aggressive with negotiations & compensation renegotiation. If not, you will be forgotten and left to stagnate as your pay remains the same and your obligations increase. Sub-inflation raises were the standard, and bonuses were not standard. If you're just starting in the tech space and want to wet your feet, this company may be reasonable to aim for; otherwise, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. HR & Tech support mirrors the same issues that megacorps have. Unresponsive teams and far too much red tape to stay high-speed. Prohibitive business systems integrations make work rather miserable. Remaining flexible and highspeed is imperative, particularly in product work. It was miserable trying to access my email, calendar, and messaging applications. Heavily a Microsoft shop. Teams is the only medium opentext likes, which makes it challenging, as there are a ton of solutions in the market that are better for software development in a lot of ways, particularly when working with remote teams. A heavy push towards Indian development. There's nothing inherently wrong with Indian development; however, when US-based teams and contractors are dropped to hire cheaper Indian contractors, it has a rather large impact on development, planning, collaboration & communication. It's important to stay profitable, so I don't blame OpenText for trying to reduce their costs, but if you're looking for a company to START to work at, one that's "struggling" financially isn't something to be looking for. "Diversity and Inclusion" is massive at this company. This could either be a plus or a minus, in your opinion. Some may even say there isn't enough at this company! In my opinion, I'd rather focus on building sick products at an awesome company than listen to hours of rambling diatribes, especially when this company has so much to work on, regardless of sex and ethnicity.
