Pros

Probably the best reason was that it was (and still is) a market leader and set the bar for innovation in the space of Data Management. It still is after all these years (somehow) an independent and as such Informatica is able to set the direction in which all others follow. Being an independent gives it so much freedom to direct the product in whatever way they see fit and a lot of the time these decisions were quite good.

Cons

Back in the day Informatica hired bright out of the box thinkers, somewhere along the line it became all about the politics, you play the political game well, you will achieve a lot. Also be prepared just to follow the words and desires of the people you report to, independent thinkers are just not listened too. If you are innovative and care more about your customers than the numbers, you probably wont do well at Informatica.

Pros

Interesting technology which is rapidly being developed, market leader, good team of people. The means to do a proper job are there.

Cons

Since going private the bean counters have been in charge, and the atmosphere has degraded. Lots of good people have left or are considering leaving.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about working at Informatica. Your concerns about cost management taking precedence over innovation and customer service are understandable. As a newly-private company, we have had to focus on EBITDA to ensure that we meet our performance goals and achieve the results required to move the organisation forward. Yet we also continue to innovate, as evidenced by our recent announcements such as the Informatica Intelligent Data Platform, the world's first commercial Marketing Data Lake, our award-winning Secure@Source data security solution, and our industry-leading Cloud and iPaaS solutions. Gartner also rates us as a "Leader" in six enterprise data software categories, as well as other analysts such as Forrester. Change is difficult, which is why our Learning & Development has created an entire curriculum online designed to help employees manage change. Check it out at INFAEdge. We would encourage you to share your concerns with your manager or HR Business Partner. Hopefully, you also included them in our just-completed employee engagement survey. We will release the results of the latter soon and plan to address any concerns that appear. We do appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best.

Pros

Not sure there is and pro’s anymore, at least from a directionless EMEA Level.

Cons

Massive cut backs announced today particularly in EMEA. CFO seems to have had enough and is heading for the exit door. Not good in the slightest. Can’t help feeling sorry for the clients we gave investment reassurances. I was not impacted but I think the damage is done. Think twice before joining this sales team. Set of puppets are running the sales business.
