Pros

you may get good pay check when u join only few people in the top management are running the show free food daily and outing once in couple of years.

Cons

There are lot of people working more then 10 years and floors are reserved for their car parking. Almost all current managers joined in the beginning of this company and enjoying the fruits of benefit n ruling the teams. one should be very talented to break them to move up in management and people who shaped Informatica to this level are been replaced. I saw almost new faces every day who are replacing the talents who actually designed the products. there would be lot of work for below 5 years and forget about girls working around you here. They just don't hire girls. only selected people will get shares and other benefits. when u travel abroad for work u get peanuts and cost cut rooms. 10% of bonus in CTC that is never given 100%. R&D India : 70% are new and mid level engineers, people are shuffled from team to team for work. once in life time u travel and what they talk when u join are all just talks. once in while parties. all your future depends on how you keep your manager. Support team is all from region basis, just attend interview in tamil then you are selected. just count the hierarchy for answers, just goes to abroad to spend money where R&D is treated as cost to company. things are controlled by managers and directors even HR is just for name sake. no strong policy to help employees, courses and training's are conducted just for name sake. no outcomes and things go as per managers. should think why employees left. even almost all HR left the company. I worked for 3 years and couple of months here, company sold to private, management changed and still every one acts nothing happened. Just make conscious decision before joining.

We are sorry you had a bad experience working at Informatica. One could conjecture that one person's "workaholic" is another's "dedicated employee". If you look at what your former colleagues in software QA at Informatica in Bengaluru have to say about working here, they rate us 4.1 out of 5 stars overall. Our success has led to a major expansion of our iLabs India R&D centre, which might explain all of the new faces you were seeing. People we hired to help us achieve our objectives, instead of burdening our staff with too much work. Your former colleagues also rate our Career Opportunities a 3.8 out of 5, higher than our peer group. As for our transformation to a private company, our senior leadership has made it clear from the outset that our values, our dedication to innovation and customer success, and our mission remain unchanged. No one pretends "nothing happened," but we continue to do "business as usual" because that behavior is what has made us the premier independent provider of enterprise data software solutions in the world. We hope you have found a workplace that is less taxing for you.

We are sorry that you have a negative view of our future. If you have knowledge of specific “lies and disgraceful acts,” please share them with your HR Business Partner or any member of the leadership team so that we may take appropriate action. We take such accusations very seriously. As a company we have always had a reputation for high integrity and strong ethics; transitioning to the PE setting does not change that in any way, so I hope you will reach out and share your specific concerns. Informatica can thrive only when there is mutual respect and honesty throughout the Company. We all spend a lot of time at work and it should be a place where each of us can grow and learn and be engaged.
