Pluspunten

- Engineers were taken on a trip to Thailand - Most of us got major pay increases

Minpunten

- We got manhandled in the Big Data space by much more nimble competitors - Our cloud strategy is basically on its last legs, because of the Private Equity investor bean counters - Pricing is so hard to understand you need a PhD to even explain to customers - Re-org after re-org has turned INFA into a communist dictatorship with VPs more focused on showing the size of their org chart in meetings instead of how they are going to execute on strategy - Promotions are directly proportional to how well you know the SVPs

We regret that you had a bad experience working at Informatica. Your criticism, however, does not match the facts. Rather than being “manhandled” in Big Data, we have been leading the industry. Our Big Data Management Platform v. 10.1, with its introduction of the Intelligent Data Lake, has won high praise from analysts and customers alike. As for the Cloud, in Gartner’s 2016 “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service, Worldwide,” the leading analyst firm positioned Informatica as a “Leader” for our “ability to execute and completeness of vision” for the third straight year. Not only has Informatica been positioned as a Leader for iPaaS, but we have also been recognized as a Leader in the Magic Quadrants for Data Integration Tools and Master Data Management by Gartner. It is true we have had a lot change in the past twelve months, but that is characteristic of a dynamic industry such as ours. To help our employees manage the transformation better, our Learning & Development team created an entire curriculum around coping with change available online at no cost. As for career advancement, we have placed renewed emphasis on developing goals and working with managers on a regular basis (rather than only at annual review meetings) to monitor performance and identify opportunities for our people to develop. It is unfortunate that you did not enjoy our environment, but – according to our Glassdoor ratings – the vast majority of our employees around the world do (4 out of 5 stars overall). We hope you have found a workplace that is a better fit for you.
