Likes

Good work life balance. You will get a lot to learn about cloud technologies. It's a dream company to work for. You will get free food and transportation.

Dislikes

Not much. Sometimes, you get pulled into responsibilities outside your job description, which can be overwhelming. A clear definition of roles and providing constructive feedback can help everyone.

Dislikes

No value for employees' life, or his dependents who rely on the salary of the employee, just bossy team managers, and selfish, long-stayed-in-one-place managers. They prioritize their own self-interest and job security, than teams growth or company growth. Such kind of foolish and micromanaging managers, with maximum insecurity. Being in the same company and same role for 15+ years narrowed their thinking, less receptive to external changes or industry trends. Self-centric behavior can manifest in low empathy. Spotlight their own achievements and downplay the others/team's contributions. This is your team and this is your culture...OpenText....Read More
