Pros

Great technology, highly rated, very relevant space.

Cons

Informatica is struggling to make the team successful. EMEA leadership has developed a hire and fire mentality. Managing the sales teams by pip’s which is creating a lot of negative sentiment. I would think very carefully about the territory you are being offered before joining. In the past few years there has been a significant level of churn from the Leadership down.

Thanks for the feedback and sharing your experience with Informatica. We’d like to thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. At Informatica, we not only want to empower our customers to make possible what before never existed, but we also want to empower our employees, current and former, to provide honest feedback that will help us grow as a company. Yes, we recently had a change in leadership earlier this year in EMEA. We're always keen on retaining great talent. EMEA is a huge growth spot for us, so we've been adding more sales capacity to grow the region. However, we have added more tools, and workshops to help with our sales enablement strategy. Thank you for the feedback as it helps us make Informatica a better place to work at and best of luck to you.

Pros

1. Flexible work hours 2. WFH 4-5 times in a year only on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. 3. Free South Indian Food

Cons

1. Almost all products in maintenance mode. So most of the year is spent doing bug fixing. 2. Company has stopped innovating. Only do rewrite of existing products. 3. You have to have good relations with your manager to get hikes and promotions. 4. Have to really try and convince your manager to give you leaves. 5. Managers try to make sure that you do not get free time to work on your skills, by keeping you busy with grunt work.

Thanks for the feedback and sharing your experience with Informatica. We’d like to thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that your experience did not go as expected. At Informatica, we are innovative and making huge strides, as we're growing across all areas of the business, and investing heavily in our R&D Team. We have developed new innovations across Master Data Management, Intelligent Cloud Services, and Data Privacy and Protection. Along with our new innovations, I'm also happy to mention that we remain the leader in Metadata Management Solutions. We're currently the only vendor that supports all four metadata-driven user cases. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. I genuinely care about this company, our team, and the great game-changing innovation that we're coming up with. We strongly embrace a good work-life balance and want our teammates to have the time off and balance needed to enjoy their time with us. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at awalia@informatica.com. Thanks again, Amit Walia | President, Products & Strategic Ecosystems

Pros

Reasonable support from management. Friendly work environment. Good company culture. Somewhat flexible schedule when personal matters arise otherwise required in office.

Cons

Management lured us here us with enticing claims we could achieve quote by wide margin. Quotas and expectations are still not reasonable. Significantly low number of reps achieved quota. Even worse it has not been addressed by management. Many are burnt out due to high demand for KPIs. Management more traditional than places I’ve encountered with dress code. Frequently thanked from management but hardly shown the gratitude.

Thanks for the feedback and sharing your experience with Informatica. We’d like to thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. At Informatica, we not only want to empower our customers to make possible what before never existed, but we also want to empower our employees to provide honest feedback that will help us grow as a company. We value and consider all feedback as having your feedback will help us continue to evaluate and improve life at Informatica for all employees. Our Inside Sales team has experienced rapid growth in 2018 and is looking forward to a great 2019. We feel there is a market relevant compensation structure in place and we provide a competitive ramping plan for new sales reps. We constantly evaluate our metrics and quota setting based on market conditions and business needs. We believe in working together as one team, and showing our teammates how much we appreciate and care about them. Each Friday we provide breakfast, and have a weekly huddle with the team to highlight best practices, current results, announce a weekly MVP for individuals that mirror our core values of We Data. To help us build our team over the last year, we had plenty of team building activities. We have a quarterly volunteer event for all team members to give back to the local community. The events have included Community First Village, Austin Pets Alive, Austin Food Bank and this quarter we will spend time with the Boy’s and Girl’s Club of America volunteering at a local school. We’ll take your feedback into consideration and we do encourage employees to share feedback directly with their leadership on any topic and any time.
