Pros

Informatica is a great organization to work with, they respect your personal opinion, value your decision. There is always time to balance your work n life, its left to individual if they want to earn more by burning their personal time. This habit is forbidden, but there is only something can be done by management. Leaders within and coworkers are helpful, it’s like if you ask right question you get right answer. With the time the organization has matured, as we all know achieving maturity is continuous process. With the relatively less number of people, the organization has global and detail reach to their customer and employees. Great

Cons

If you are with professional service division, then you have to travel a lot. Always pack a bag and be on your toes. If you are more like a people person, and cant work on your own...then this is not for you. Imagine you will be given everything you ask for but the people you can talk face to face. Its the job, yo all will be working together but sitting on different islands.

Pros

The company is not too big and not too small. A great independent company to work for. You get enough opportunities to showcase your skills without the fear of going into obscurity. Most people you encounter are very friendly and helpful. Work environment is a blast with all kinds of facilities. The India center is is strategically important to the company and you get to work on the best stuff here. Team heads are generally friendly want to give you the opportunity to grow in the company rather than use you for their growth. Employee morale is rather high. There appears to be lot of fun outdoor activities planned throughout the year. Company provides a good stock plan which could profitable for people in certain geographies. From a business perspective, the management has been proactive in acquiring companies and have now positioned Informatica as the one stop shop for all data integration and analytic needs.

Cons

Ever looming threat of a hostile takeover. Senior management assures you that won't happen, but the online pundits seem to think thats the best way. Sometimes there is a lull in working pace which precedes some really hectic flurry of activities.

Pros

the salary and benefits were good. it's a large enough company to provide plenty of paths for career advancement. it's small enough that there aren't too many hurdles/bureaucracy impeding productivity. the company is well positioned compared to its competitors. they offer an employee stock purchase plan, which is a pretty good value. the company events can be pretty fun. we went on a few trips.

Cons

the projects were pretty boring. the software development process is characterized by periods of low pressure and boredom followed by periods of high pressure (possibly working weekends) before a new release of a software product.
