      Mismanaged Effort at Informatica.

      Pros

      You never feel overworked. You never have to stay too late (this may depend on your manager though). Regular raises keep salaries competitive.

      Cons

      Location is far from downtown Redwood City. Java code base is 10 years old. C++ code base dates from the mid-90's. We're stuck on Java 7 and pre-C++ 98. Code has many obvious bugs and performance issues but feature development is prioritized over any kind of code audit or cleanup. In practice we wait until a customer hits one of these issues before fixing them.

      The worse work experience in my career! Informatica has become like Computer Associates with its hostile management team

      Pros

      Loved working at Informatica for many years. It was a place where people were well treated and part of a team. Great solid products, a lot of resources to draw from, has the latest technology in place to perform your job (salesforce.com, Marketo, Work Day, etc) The company even let's you use Facebook during work hours. Whatever devices you need, you just ask and get.

      Cons

      Many people have quit in the past 2 years or got fired based on unrealistic work objectives. Informatica is struggling to get passed the $1B mark and is only focused on the financials at the expense of employees. They have shifted from a healthy employee culture to a military style culture exactly like Computer Associate. Management all the way up to senior management are new and have no concept on how to manage employees. Many of them lack education and respect by using intimidation tactics to get the job done or else!!! Many of them are bullies and will yell at you just like a hockey coach would do. Very unprofessional and old fashion way to use scare tactics towards employees thinking they will get the job done. They think they can own you and expect you to work a lot of overtime without any appreciation or compensation. Stay away from Informatica!

      We appreciate you taking the time to share your views and experiences with Informatica which show two very different ends of the spectrum. We are very much focused on a culture and leadership style that reflect the Pros you listed and will continue to strive to ensure the Cons listed are not represented at Informatica.

      Sorry state of affairs at once great company

      Pros

      Great yesteryear products that the "new blood" is ruining.

      Cons

      Fixes need to happen at the top. When you have management without strong background moved up the ladder and favoritism take place, the company runs to the ground. Spending on marketing and coming up with new logos does not reinvent a company. Long timers at the company are forced out or leave on their own and there is really no strong technical talent left. Really sorry to hear employees making a pretense that things are great.
