Started out great… - Marketing OpenText Employee Review

Management is all over the place. After a few acquisitions, nobody really seemed to know what was going on. Once the guy from Microsoft came in, the entire department changed. The management prior was much better. Backfill some of the roles. You can’t do a mass layoff and then not backfill them when more work is needed later. This makes someone’s workload 2-3x more. Once layoffs were announced, nobody got a clear answer from anyone. I know it’s typically kept internal to management but flat out telling your employees that you’re safe until they’re let go is very unprofessional. They laid off a lot of key employees and things turned into a mess. I am not sure how many marketing teams will even exist soon because everyone seems to be leaving or being let go. If you want to advance or even keep a job there, be prepared to do some a** kissing. Favoritism is a BIG thing there. And a lot of people play favorites. CEO is a very nice guy but seems to think he’s more of a celebrity than a CEO. But the guest speakers they get are pretty cool.
