    Overall great experience but could be better only if the Executives know where the real issue is.
    The good thingsGreat salary package and benefits Awesome work environment Cool colleagues and managers Broad IT infra to work with and learn from
    The challengesSeniors from onshore are not ready to share work globally Undergoing lots of changes and cost cutting due to fast phased A&Ms that are affecting jobs across all line of business Executives maybe losing touch of people management in the lowest level

    It seems good at the beginning, but you eventually realize how unfair the environment is.
    The good thingsmy teammates, probably because we all suffer together
    The challengesSalary: New hires often receive higher salaries compared to long-tenured employees. Unfortunately, salary adjustments for existing staff do not keep pace with inflation, resulting in pay disparity and reduced employee morale. Work-Life Balance: Despite being promoted as a value, work-life balance is neither prioritized nor genuinely felt by employees. Management: Workplace politics and outdated leadership styles are prevalent. Some members of management display dismissive and gaslighting behaviors. They enjoy extensive benefits, which may explain their lack of empathy and concern for the well-being of their teams.

    Makati City Metro ManilaLess than 1 year in the role, former employee
    Made me wait 45 mins for the final interview, cancelled it without explanation, wants me to go onsite for it a week later with an offer that same day, passed both of it but did not givw an offer, gave me a verbal offer with a start date but no written, after 4 months they are asking if I'm still available, ridiculous level of unprofessionalism from Opentext. Might be the worst I've ever experience in 6 years.
    The good thingsGood Salary package, will be working on oudated system so that should be expected
    The challengesThey seem to have trouble with the management approvals

    This is not the best place to work
    The good thingsBenefits and salary. Employee relatiinships - except managers
    The challengesManagement. They need to address employee escalations more than just giving and creating company activities. Band aid solutions are temporary.

    Makati City Metro Manila9 to 10 years in the role, current employee
    Stayed longer than what I've expected because of our team's camaraderie and support to each other. Benefits is good as well.
    The good thingsGreat Team! Stayed more than a 1 decade. Respected and Appreciated by the "previous" Management.
    The challengesCurrent Management has its own agenda! Management is not familiar with the right process and tools being used by their peers. Not much support since they're only focus on engagements that will make them look very good. Don't expect any growth and opportunity - its a shame for a big and well known IT company.

    Pay isn't worth the stress
    The good thingsI would think benefits are the only highlight of working here
    The challengesPay is very low for the amount of work-effort needed by the company. My current role used to be 4 individual positions but is now merged into one for the pay of a single role.
