Avoid Informatica:
If possible avoid informatica, I had very bad experience with them, same now happened to my friend.There is a principal recruiter who don’t know how to talk, very rude , someone already mentioned his name on glassdoor
Scenario 1 : Completed telephonic and 6 onsite interview loop, after that this recruiter called and informed that he received 4 round feedback and it is positive , let me know the expectation. After receiving the expectations, he called within 30 minutes that remaining 2 rounds feedback are negative so we are not proceeding.Although all my interview round went pretty well.
Scenario 2 : After applied to informatica, this recruiter called and started talking rudely that, “do you know anything about informatica or applied randomly” before giving other person chance to start replying. Anyways after completing telephonic and 6 onsite rounds, this recruiter called and informed that all rounds feedback is positive and they wanted to move ahead with offer and asked for expectation. After telling him the expectation, he immediately started trying to cancel the call , even after I was saying that I am ready to negotate, he said he will check again and never came back .After following up on mail he replied that we are interviewing other candidates, this is so unprofessional.
The question is why they normally bring the people onsite and wasting their time by taking 6-7 round whole day, if their plan is just to take candidates based on lower TC and not on talent.If thats the case just take 2-3 rounds and select the candidate.
The interviewers in both the time were good and talented but highly disappointed with the recruitment process of informatica.
Summary: If your TC expectations are above average, don't even try to waste your time by giving 6-7 rounds, they will never give you an offer no matter how good your interview went.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Informatica (Redwood City, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Was recruited on linkedin, a phone screen, call with the hiring manager, then a 4 hour on-site in Redwood city. The interviewers were friendly, questions were straight to the point, and I spoke briefly with the recruiter at the end. Received benefits package and was to hear back the next day, unfortunately the recruiter ghosted and didn't respond after the on-site interview.

Question 1
basic questions around program management philosophy, agile vs waterfall, what's your toughest assignment, escalations, agile tool usage
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Informatica (Dublín, Dublín) in Jun 2019
Interview
Long Process, felt ghosted and not being kept in the loop.
- The interview process started well:
1 Screening with the recruiter.
1 Phone call interview with the hiring manager in EMEA.
1 Video-Call interview with the director in the US.
Onsite Face to Face with 2 EMEA Managers. (Very nice to talk to).
Everyone was kind while engaging and asking questions.
In between interviews, I've been always asked for feedback from the recruiter and then been told that they would like to keep talking to me. It sometimes took a few days for them to get back to me.
2 months in total to schedule and complete all interviews.
Once the onsite interview finished, I've been told that the recruiter will keep me in the loop and ask for my feedback. This has never happened.
After 2 weeks I requested an updated and got an answer saying that they will let me know by the end of the week.
This did not happen either, so the following week I sent a new e-mail to inform them that I was no longer interested in the role.
I've never received acknowledgement of this e-mail, apology for the delay or any feedback on my face to face interview.
They didn't give me the impression of being well organized.
When you take your personal time, invest your own hours and prepare for an interview, the least that you expect is at least 1 or 2 lines
What does it take to treat someone properly? If I got that far in the process it shows that I was preparing myself for each stage, this takes time and doesn't feel appreciated. It takes no effort to be kind and send even a template e-mail saying 'thank you for your time' and provide short feedback.
So to the below question "Did you get an offer?" the answer is "I didn't even get an answer!"
Unfortunately, a bad experience. It feels really unprofessional, insulting, disrespectful and undermining to be ghosted after an interview, especially after you've invested so much energy and time.
Thanks and best of luck!
