      Toxic Culture

      Technical consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Well paying jobs, good amount of opportunity

      Cons

      Company is run by social elite, typical ponzi scheme structure. Culture is absolutely embedded in an elitist mentality, you are either in with the popular kids or you are not. Promotions, accolades and even career termination is mainly determined by who you know and how well you know them. One's body of work, work ethic and ability to tackle problems both internally and externally will certainly come into play as one goes through their career at Informatica, however it will always be trumped by your social status in the company's toxic social culture.

      We are sorry you have such a negative view of our culture. It is very puzzling, as your co-workers in Austin rate our culture 4.47 out of 5 stars according to Glassdoor. As announced at our most recent All-Hands meeting April 18th, we are beginning a round of goal- and performance-oriented discussions between managers and their teams precisely to ensure that career advancement and rewards are based on merit and achievement. Informatica is also about to release its global employee engagement survey, so it will be instructive to see how the Company at large evaluates our culture. Lastly, we acknowledge that Informatica is not for everyone. It is not only a collegial and collaborative environment, but also one that demands top effort and performance. If you are unhappy here, you can discuss your concerns confidentially with your HR representative or seek a situation more aligned with your values. Either way, we wish you the best of luck.

      Great company but poor sales and marketing leadership

      Sales
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent products, great product engineering Loyal customer base Enormous market potential, well positioned as a leader in growing market Cloud presents a huge opportunity which is exciting Generally positive culture of people, most attempt to be good and do the right thing if they can Informatica has continued to grow despite its problems in some key areas

      Cons

      Massive turnover in sales for at least 2-3 years now, 30%-70% per year depending on region and role Frustration in sales is pretty intense Marketing is antiquated at best and has totally missed the boat on possibilities to expand the Informatica brand and lead the market in the new world of data. Our competition smokes us in field marketing and using innovative and fresh techniques to reach new markets and buyers. The more industrious sales people do a lot of their own marketing, build their own contact systems and buy tools to deliver fresh messages to new markets to do what marketing has not bee able to do The sales infrastructure is broken. The system was so broken this year in 2015 that salespeople got a standard draw in Q1 since sales operations and finance couldn't figure it out. Sales Operations leadership is the archetype of what not to do in business, bonus and comp plans are unclear in many cases, are not well thought out and are misleading Informatica doesn't integrate its own data well at all. Our CRM system is a mess. Sales and marketing leadership reacts, thinks short term and cripples sales by being disruptive and desperate for quick results. Sales management does the best it can but these issues all stem from the top and in trying to accommodate so many political agendas in the company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Sometime you might get good work. Free lunch Subsidized transport Flexible working hours Decent Hike (in some project) Good team Outing sometimes.

      Cons

      1. Politics is increasing Day by Day. (Blame game) 2. Salaries are not competitive anymore. 3. People are hired with salaries more then existing employees ,with no mark of correction. 4. Poor quality work most of the times. 5. Lot of good people have started leaving ,hence quality has reduced. 6. Will not recommend Informatica to anyone.Try other good opportunities outside.
