Pros

None as such that i can see because unfortunately i have landed in a team with a very bad management and atmosphere

Cons

When i read the reviews of informatica here, it sounds like an altogether different world. So, the culture in some teams looks like is much different than others, in fact complete opposite. There is too much of micromanagement Work from home is discouraged The team environment is negative There is no sense of achievement There is no work life balance

Bangalore R & D ilabs is Not for talented people

Pros

Depends on your aspirations. 1) If you really want to build products from scratch . this place is not for you. Do not be fooled by what manager and HR tell you at the time of joining. They just want you to get into grind. 2)70 % work is maintenance and support in all R and D teams irrespective of what you are told. 3)Regarding work life balance, some teams have it, but there are teams where you have to work from 9 in the morning to 12 at mid night and this is not for support team. This is work profile for R & D team in informatica . So If you really planning to join a team here, get in touch with someone who actually works in that team

Cons

1) Place is about just get the work done.. Code quality does not matter. No discussion about any design and architecture. 2) Too much legacy code of really low quality. 3) Nothing to learn at all 4)Work involves only bug fixes

It's pathetic, don't give value of experience and pay(too much variable pay, and they won't give 100% bonus promised)

Pros

Nothing to say about pros for this company

Cons

1. Too much variable pay in CTC. 2. Performance bonus component is just a way to hold your 10% of CTC with them , never given 100% bonus for past 4 years. 3. R&D team has least priority among other units in the company (feels like we are developing world class products but other units are enjoying the benefits) 4. Never expect long term onsite chances (L1 or H1B) from R&D unit ( 1% - who are very very lucky will get relocation chances to US). 5. Never value veterans so this is not the place for long term employment.
