Culture of Ignorance

Senior software engineer

Pros

- At least they're trying to modernize from their old technologies and certain engineers and management are definitely trying to drive for improved flows. - They try to promote pretty quickly if you know what you're doing so you can have a larger impact.

Cons

There's a serious culture of ignorance, where product engineers refuse to learn anything about the platform provided to them, refuse to know anything about their own deployments, and then are surprised when things don't magically work. As a result, security is ignored to "get things working" and product engineers actively hacking against what platform teams provide them. This and a complete willingness to silo knowledge has led to a lack of any automation, horrible architectures, outages, security breaches, and unscalable practices.

Great opportunity, great team, and great timing

Pros

I've been working as an Inside Sales Rep with Informatica for about a year and half now. I can tell you that the management team really does care about the development of its sales people, and has provided a great culture for a diverse team to grow together. From a market standpoint, Informatica is growing extremely fast and so is the demand for data management software in the marketplace which means that the timing couldn't be much better. Most importantly, the commission structure is extremely competitive and in the favor of the sales rep so there is extremely high income potential here, if you're willing to put in the effort and at times patience for longer deal cycles that come with enterprise software sales.

Cons

Hyper growth means that sometimes there isn't much structure as things are constantly changing. For some, this may be a turnoff but it will give you experience outside of your comfort zone.
