Sad destruction of what was once a premier company

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As a former employee (and not a disgruntled one I might add), the only thing left that is a "pro" are some of the people that I have left behind. There are some truly great people still there. It hurts me to be this honest.

Cons

The PE lost a fight with the former executive team (who almost all quit) and has deployed the worst executive team I have yet to encounter in my career. The new HR group has zero interest in understanding the culture and wants to insert their own, which is rooted in 1982. Crazy high turnover in HR because of this. The executive team consists of several siloed folks all rowing in different directions. PE managed to take what was once a premier destination company and absolutely destroy it. There are probably resume building opportunities there, but the company is slowly becoming a stain on one's resume.

We would note that we continue to aggressively grow our customer base, receive accolades for our customer service, be recognized for our innovate solutions from industry analysts and our HR department was recently honored as one of the top 50 in North America for the candidate experience we provide. We wish you well in your next endeavor.

Pros

Pay was good, but the stock was not performing well.

Cons

I recently had the unfortunate experience of being laid off from Informatica, and I must say it was nothing short of a nightmare. The entire ordeal left me with a bitter taste in my mouth, highlighting the company's abysmal handling of employee matters, an out-of-touch CEO, and an overall toxic corporate culture. Let's start with the layoff process. The way it was executed demonstrated a complete lack of empathy and professionalism. Employees were treated like mere numbers on a spreadsheet rather than individuals with families, livelihoods, and aspirations. The callousness displayed during this time was shocking, leaving many talented and dedicated professionals blindsided and without a clear understanding of why their contributions were deemed expendable.

Pros

-Some good-teammates (Intelligent, hardworking) -Good processes in place

Cons

-Nepotism: -Technical debt. Cloud push too little too late. PC still a core offering -Laying-off performers who made quota -Center of gravity in India. Different work culture values and expectations -Leadership in most functions has NO experience in turning around a company! (Sales, Marketing, Executive Leaership etc) -Fear: Folks are worried about losing their jobs. They are constantly looking over their backs. You CAN'T do your best work this way. -Layoffs: Everyone knows the next round of layoffs is around the corner. Private Equity is turning up the pressure
