Pros

1. People: You get to work with very talented people at all levels. People are genuinely nice and helpful. You can directly approach senior architects without formality. Even managers are very technical. People share their learnings through internal blogs which are very helpful. If you have enthusiasm it is nice place for professional growth. 2. Technology: For the size of the company, it is not one technology company. You get to work C/C++ that includes core systems programming, java, cloud technologies etc. It is not just using technology but also solve interesting and complex problems like zero down time solutions, processing large amounts of data etc. 3. Customer impact: The product I work on has short release cycles, which enables to have meaningful impact and also see customers using it immediately. 4. Benefits: Benefits are on par with industry standard. Head quarters has free gym, volley ball court. It also nice walking trails along the bay. Finally people not only work hard but also have fun. We have frequent table tennis, volley ball tournaments. Also there are frequent chill out events. Even team off-site events are fun, with some of the teams having off-site in other countries.

Cons

None. I see company going private as a positive. The top management is looking actual growth and stock market fluctuations do not affect product development plans.

Pros

I have been with the company for close to 10 years. I have worked for many teams and the work was always challenging. Never felt like I am rusting because I stayed here for so many years. Great benefits and culture.

Cons

It has been bought by a private company. It may have an impact on the benefits and directions.

Thank you for your comments and congratulations on your tenure. You must take great pride in knowing you have helped build the world's number one independent data integration company. Our acquisition will mean changes, but we are confident that they will lead to even bigger success. You may recall the all-hands e-mail and accompanying article on Life@ from our CHRO EVP Jo Stoner. In it, she explained what would and would not change as far as benefits and related policies. If you missed it, you can always find it on Life@. If you’d like more help facing change, the HR Organization Effectiveness team curated a specially-chosen selection of online learning resources about change, accessible through INFAedge. Look for the featured item called Facing Change. These are bite-size pieces of learning that take ten minutes or less and provide ideas and thoughts on working through change. We are also introducing tools for individuals and teams that help people understand change, plan for change and accept change. These are available now if you contact any member of the Organization Effectiveness team or your HR Business Partner. You’ll also notice even more Developing Me workshops globally over the next few months that will help you to keep an eye on your professional and personal development as the organization moves forward. Good luck, and thanks again for sharing your thoughts about Informatica.
