Pros

Recent new senior leadership hires are already beginning to revitalize the company. I have been here for almost two years, and it's finally feeling like there is a top-down, detailed approach to our next phase of growth. The shuffling of upper management after going private has helped break down many silos, and I'm finding that there is much stronger momentum in initiatives involving multiple business groups. On an individual level, there are many growth opportunities for those who want to push to advance their career. I have always felt like I had the support of my managers and peers to identify and pursue new projects. We have a lot of good people at Informatica - overall this is a great place to work!

Cons

I have heard the phrase "Billion Dollar Startup" tossed around internally multiple times. Sometimes, I think we lack the aggression that true "startup" culture has. We really need to inject this type of fuel into our culture if we want big growth. There is a larger-than-desired number of individuals in middle management roles who are completely coasting, and adding little value. Although understandable for a short time after we went private, being in "a time of change" is no longer an excuse for not pitching in. The passive attitude of some colleagues is really tough for those of us who want to push HARD and get big results for Informatica.

We appreciate your comments and agree completely that the road ahead is exciting. As the senior team discussed at our last All-Hands meeting, they plan to keep doing what they've been doing and then some. With motivated, positive colleagues such as you, we are confident we will achieve our goals! Thanks again.
