Pros

You get unlimited PTO (with stipulations). You do work with some very smart people in other departments. If you want to learn a lot about sales and are just starting your career this can be a good place.

Cons

There doesn't seem to be much direction on the team. Team morale fluctuates a lot and at times is very poor. There was a career path but after the inside sales team was let go it's become tough to move up. The BDM team falls under the marketing department which seems weird since most want to go into sales. The team needs more senior leadership in Austin.

We appreciate your feedback and value your advice. Moving to become the leading Enterprise Cloud Data Management company has had some changes and disruptions. But we believe we now have a very clear direction, articulated fully during Informatica World 2017 last week. There are several examples where our Business Development Managers have progressed to field sales. Our customer success initiatives are expanding significantly as well, and new roles for customer success management afford you yet another path for your career. You can visit the Internal Career Center on the Okta SSO page where you can view opportunities for advancement within Informatica. If you’d like additional career guidance, please contact your HR Business Partner to discuss. Thank you once again and best wishes for a successful career with us.

Thank you for your review and sharing your thoughts about Informatica. It is true that there has been a lot of change over the past few months. But our dedication to our customers, innovation, and growing the Company has never changed. Our recent employee satisfaction survey showed that employees want more clarity and direction about their career development, and - as our CEO discussed in his video on Life@ the other day - senior leadership is working to address these issues. They plan to update us at the next All-Hands meeting in July. Stay tuned 'til then. We appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback.

Very good benefits package. Low performance expectations. On site gym in Redwood City site.

Managers with no people skills. HR does not care about employees. Goals are not clear. No transparency.

We're sorry you had a poor experience at Informatica. One could hardly characterize our management as "weak" when we have performed well financially and delivered innovative products that lead our industry. Those achievements are some of the many reasons why our R&D team held its All-Hands meeting in Pattaya, Thailand, and our Global Customer Success team held theirs in Rome. At our most recent All-Hands meeting this month, our new Chief Human Resources Officer, Maureen Brennan, announced a renewed emphasis on goal-setting and accountability and we are in the midst of implementing that program. Informatica requires all managers to take hours of training in the skills and art of management, and our employees rate Senior Management at Informatica higher than most employers on Glassdoor (as well as rating the Company overall 4 out of 5 stars). To say that HR does not care about employees is simply untrue. We have a number of programs to ensure employee satisfaction and are about to launch a Company-wide survey to evaluate it. Informatica has been rated a "Best Place to Work" in the SF Bay Area, Ireland, India, and elsewhere. We wish you well in your future endeavors.
