Pros

Excellent benefits and the appearance of mobility within the company. Other departments seemed to be quite satisfied with their work and their managers.

Cons

Direct management (up to the Director level) juvenile and vindictive. Your Linked In, Facebook and other social media accounts are monitored. Management claims you can easily transfer between departments then blocks those attempts.

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us. Informatica does have a formal social media policy and, whilst we clearly do not actively monitor employee's social media feeds, we do address concerns that are brought to our attention that might violate the policy. We actively encourage career progression in many formats; including internal transfers. We have an internal transfer policy to aide employees and hiring managers with internal transfers and HR is also actively involved in this process to ensure smooth internal transfers. A number of roles are filled by internal transfers each year. We will continue to work alongside employees and managers to ensure the process is handled smoothly to allow employees career advancement opportunities.

Pros

Company overall is fine. Fast-paced.

Cons

Environment at certain department can be very toxic and stressful - lots of politics, lack of respect from management to employees, and a waste of money on unnecessary deliverable/resource.

Pros

Smart people, many passionate developers and architects Good pay and benefits Many old-timers still with the company providing continuity

Cons

The most relationship-oriented culture I have experienced (rather than results or accomplishments oriented) Frequent (every 6 months) major reorgs Very political R&D execs - almost exclusively managing up Most planning discussions rotate around what CEO, CPO or other execs want to hear, and what will make our exec look good, not around what the market or customers need Many great people have left, especially senior people who joined recently Many old-timers are great, but there are too many over-promoted old-timers resting on their laurels
