Pros

-Open access to all levels of management, R&D, Support, Professional Services. High class talent and engaged workforce. Working with all major cloud technology players.

Cons

-Bloated software portfolio makes it difficult to be deep enough in all opportunities. SC's need to rely on specialists. The current privatization will reduce interest in R&D and bring down cost cutting everywhere.

Thank you for your review of Informatica and your advice to management. Our move to private ownership was, in fact, spurred by our desire to invest more in R&D and new ideas rather than less.. You can be sure Informatica will continue to innovate: over the next couple of months, we will showcase our product innovation and market leadership at a number of events (Dreamforce, Financial Services Summit, Strata, Amazon Reinvent) and launch activities (Powercenter v10, Project Atlas, Secure@Source v2). Our goal of Informatica being a great place to work and having a strong people-centric culture will also not change with this transition. Our values will remain the same. Our customer-first culture will stay the same. And our collaborative, friendly environment will remain the same. These are the traits that make Informatica special and I’d like to reassure you that there is a high degree of focus on keeping it that way. Thanks again for your comments and best of luck to you.

Pros

Flexible work hours at the time, reasonable pay and benefits

Cons

No interest in individual contributors, management in flux. I don't think anyone knew what I did every day.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Informatica. Without knowing your exact situation, it is difficult to respond specifically. But the re-structuring in Marketing to which you refer happened well over a year ago, so let’s start there. While there were several positions impacted, the changes in Marketing at the time cannot be characterized as a “mass layoff.” The department was re-designed to align with a greater emphasis on programs and that meant that some roles changed. Since that time, Informatica has continued to grow and invest in its infrastructure, including Marketing. As for measuring employees’ performance, our performance management process underwent significant change earlier this year. We implemented a quarterly review process so that managers and their employees could discuss goals and objectives more frequently. This revision gives them the ability to make revisions or corrections as necessary rather than waiting until the end of the year. Response so far has been positive. Since last year, Informatica has continued to grow – the Company’s Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) stands at 17% for the past 7 years. Over half of our revenue comes from products brought to market in the past five years or sooner. We believe our success is a testament to the effectiveness of the strategy developed by our senior leadership and implemented by our employees worldwide. We are sorry that you have a negative view of Informatica. We wish you well in your current and future endeavors.
