It is regrettable that you have a negative view of Informatica. Our senior leaders conduct regularly scheduled All-Hands meeting where they share our vision and strategy and everyone can ask questions. Our results also suggest that most of the Company is pulling in unison – analysts give us high marks for innovation, market leadership, customer satisfaction, and as a place to work. We will continue to succeed as long as we continue to work together to achieve our goals. We hope you can align yourself with these efforts, for your success as well as that of the Company overall.

Pros

Pay is good. Benefits is good. Flexible working hours. Lots of intelligent people (for now).

Cons

Company vision is great. Providing a clear execution plan on how to reach that goal is lacking. Senior management wants different departments to work together but for a big company, this idea just becomes a hindrance rather than an advantage. Cross department communication and cooperation has a lot of room to improve. Company seems to be focus more on the amount of features rather than the quality of features. Intelligent people are leaving.

Thank you for your review and sharing your thoughts about working at Informatica. The fact that we continue to win accolades for innovation, customer satisfaction and as a place to work indicate that our direction is as compelling as our vision. As for our trends, we outperform many of our competitors across the board. Could we do better? Of course we can. And we intend to do just that! We appreciate your comments and wish you all the best.

Pros

Comprehensive data management product portfolio Big brand customers are managing high volumes and variety of data Above average compensation Unlimited vacation policy Many nice people in the ranks

Cons

Inward focused leadership Unclear strategy Inconsistent investment in potentially disruptive parts of the product portfolio Underfunded marketing organization Offshore hiring strategy creates a heavy burden in North America to get things done with increasingly limited resources Heavy variability in bonus plan No stock options given PE ownership Lack of resources makes it nearly impossible to take advantage of the vacation policy Health benefits continue to degrade post acquisition

We’re sorry you had a negative experience with Informatica. Naturally, we take issue with your characterization of the Company and the opportunities we offer. We would point out that nearly 80% of employees would recommend Informatica to their friends as a place to work (more than many of our competitors), 83% approve of our CEO, and most approve of our business direction. Analysts rate us a leader for innovation and customer satisfaction. Glassdoor also recently rated Informatica as one of the top 25 employers for compensation in our industry. So the reality here isn’t at all as bleak as you portray. We wish you well in your future career endeavors.
