Pros

0) Good place to learn 1) Informatica takes care of its employee well, good team building activities outings like out of country kick-off/ team lunch/dinner etc. 2) Fair salary and also a decent hike each year in India (comparative to others). 3) Free food and snacks that includes juices etc. 4) Beers are included in menu wherever you go for outings :) 5) Quite different and very good from other employers as per India standards.

Cons

I believe a company has no individual identity, it is recognized by it's employee specially managers. 0) No onsite opportunities, only 2 months assignment to redwood city in rotation wise, that means if you have 15 engineers in team, then next time you will get a chance is after 30 months (nearly 3 years). 1) Only good place for R&D employees, for Support its highly stressful, demanding and pushy environment. 2) Always late nights , mostly ppl reach home after 12 -12:30 AM in night. 3) Strange to find that no transport facility for Support ppl atleast in rainy days , it's the only company i came across that doesn't provide this basic thing. In short, excellent place to work in R&D, however not that good place to work in Support.

Pros

Enterprise level Integration is a good place to be in despite freebee products out there. Company has a range of products that enable it address multiple market verticals.

Cons

Toxic work environment. The company is focused on moving 'all' of Engineering & Operations offshore. Lately they have been importing folks from India on 2 yr work visas. Work hours are brutal with no work-life balance. Managers are pathetic with no people skills what-so-ever. New products or ideas are non existent. The good ones have either left or are heading towards the door.
