Pros

Pay I suppose, but it's only to keep people due to how awful everything is

Cons

Where to begin? -Broken or no processes at all. No strategies. - No training, hideous communication, and managers who won't support you - Same managers will set you up to fail on projects. If you don't read their minds, they blame you. They'll claim you're not collaborating or communicating properly when it's actually the reverse. - People are rude and unhelpful every day, but you'll get blamed -Double standards - Blurred job roles, and you'll receive criticism for not knowing or doing another role without any idea you were supposed to - HR is well aware of all the problems but can't do anything. - The CEO threw a tantrum on an all-hands meeting about people complaining that he forced them into a hybrid schedule. I remained remote and didn't understand the policy. Of course, I didn't understand most of the policies or actions the company took. - Though a software company, the only thing Informatica actually produces is misery. - They deserve negative stars, as many as a person can count.

Pros

It's a funny company, Informatica. They like to make money. Lots of money. Which is good for the board members, managers, and favorites. You like that? Go for it. They talk about diversity. They are super-woke these days. If you like that, it's a great place for you! Good place for beginners to get started. (Then get out.)

Cons

The biggest con? They do not keep money promises to employees. Not salary, not bonus, not stock, not perks. None of it. (Unless maybe if you are one of the favorites. And you will KNOW who the favorites are. It is obvious.) They'll make you think they will pay up. But they won't. And you will be shocked at how they get away with it. Cost of living?? Please. In the last few years, they made plenty of money. LOTS of money. Yet did not pay full bonuses (always an excuse!) and pathetic (or no!) raises. There are PLENTY of companies out there who pay bonuses as promised and give decent raises. Informatica is NOT one you can trust in this dept. Oh but they will make you believe they really are not like that ... trust them. Good luck with that. When they reopen the office, you'll see how "diverse" they really are. It is a company of EASILY 85%+ Indian people. Which is fine with me. I like Indian people and the culture. What I do NOT like is the pretense that this is diverse. It is not. Never has been. What else is funny? They are closet conservatives. Love that.

Most sexist place I have ever worked

Pros

The new CEO seems to want to make cultural changes

Cons

Despite bringing in a female President, the sales arm is still all male managers. The services/customer success arm is sexist but with a more eastern culture of sexism. Still managed by cult of personality and wasting time and resources by ignoring women who are more experienced in some cases. The down the chain communicais abysmal and everyone is aware of the favored employees and nepotism causing huge issues with morale. Because of nepotism- people are promoted who lack the basic skills for their jobs while well qualified individuals are passed over in many cases (not all). In the most recent layoffs- the buddy system forced out good sales professionals who were making their numbers and had excellent customer relationships. This led to huge disruption in accounts and caused the decline of sales performance the following quarter. This culture of drinking buddies has ling been a feature of Informatica nad is a huge part of why they never really hit their stride.
