Pros

The experience in terms of work culture , technology vary quite a lot from department to department . I was lucky to be in a team that grew out around me from the time i joined. It was a flat, highly motivated team that was working on a newly acquired product, management and technology wise this team had very little overlap with rest of Informatica products. The team was flat structured, with good amount freedom to select our technology. The top management was driving us very hard but there was good raises and bonuses the whole time so it evened out. Overall it was good experience , but this is what a good team inside could be , experience in other teams could be quite different.

Cons

The top brass has metastatised in terms of new thoughts and ideas . They are mostly people that have come here after long stints in other big enterprises (Oracle/SAP) and/or Indian Services companies. There idea of tech is man management and view of the world is that of DB world of the 90's . They would boldly go forth branding their offerings with whatever is the flavour of the season "BIG DATA" , "CLOUD" and what-have-you but one good look reveals that these "concepts" are some scattered fogs in their horizon. The technological and design choices of most mainstream Informatica products reflect their personalities and dynamics of their relationships .

Pros

Informatica has an impressive product portfolio, with a very well known brand and a huge customer base. As we all know there is no such thing as an easy sale, but it sure helps to have a very focused company behind you. It has an innovation DNA which is hard to find in similar companies. The benefits and fixed salary are very good. Great support from Administrative staff in general.

Cons

There is a lot of room for improvement regarding Territory planning and attribution to Sales Managers. The quest for massive pipeline generation tends to create some problems, as opportunities are not infinite in the companies. There is not an option of a corporate car, as other companies in the same level/size offer.

Thank you for your feedback. You highlight many positive aspects of working at Informatica including our products, Brand, Innovation DNA, Compensation and back office support. Thanks also for the constructive feedback about Territory planning and Reps responsibilities. We are constantly discussing the roles to have people focusing on what they do best and also debating about sales strategies to increase results. We are aware that Territory Strategies can be discussed and changed through the year and year by year. I am confident that we can work with your direct manager on helping you to achieve your goals within local territory strategy. Please, feel free to contact me (lbellis@informatica.com). Regarding the comment about corporate car, we know that some people rather have a corporate car instead of a car allowance, as we currently offer. However, we face regulation restrictions to make any change on this benefit right now.
