The Best work culture , driven by really talented people .

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Work - life balance 2. Competitive pay - hikes are directly proportional to goals accompalished during financial year . Even if starting pay is not the best , but eventually you can beat any of the competitiors . 3. Freedom to think/innovate/learn . Time is given to properly design , think and implement the solution . 4. Great opportunity to develop personally - learning is not limited technical skills .. you can learn a lot when you have a group of smart people around . 5. Management accept shortcomings and are always ready to change for better .

Cons

A general cons of any big company is when the products become stable , a lot of time is spent in code maintenance which may slow down learning . This is again team specific and not permanent , eventually management takes care to distribute core rnd tasks so that every one gets good opportunity .

Pros

0) Good place to learn 1) Informatica takes care of its employee well, good team building activities outings like out of country kick-off/ team lunch/dinner etc. 2) Fair salary and also a decent hike each year in India (comparative to others). 3) Free food and snacks that includes juices etc. 4) Beers are included in menu wherever you go for outings :) 5) Quite different and very good from other employers as per India standards.

Cons

I believe a company has no individual identity, it is recognized by it's employee specially managers. 0) No onsite opportunities, only 2 months assignment to redwood city in rotation wise, that means if you have 15 engineers in team, then next time you will get a chance is after 30 months (nearly 3 years). 1) Only good place for R&D employees, for Support its highly stressful, demanding and pushy environment. 2) Always late nights , mostly ppl reach home after 12 -12:30 AM in night. 3) Strange to find that no transport facility for Support ppl atleast in rainy days , it's the only company i came across that doesn't provide this basic thing. In short, excellent place to work in R&D, however not that good place to work in Support.
