      Thank you for your review. Obviously, we would agree about our potential, but take exception to your characterization of our execution. Not sure when you left, but we have had a lot of changes at Informatica over the past year: a new executive team, new owners, and a slew of new and innovative products. What hasn't changed is our focus on customer success and being the top enterprise data software company in the world. Gartner rates us a "Leader" in six enterprise data categories, including as market leader in the dynamic iPaaS (aka "Cloud") market. Forrester similarly rates us highly. And Informatica received top marks in Customer Loyalty in the DI Customer Satisfaction from TNS for the 10th year in a row (2006-2016). You'll see Informatica on display next week at Informatica World 2016 in San Francisco, and registrations are already at an all-time high. There's a lot of positive buzz about Informatica now... which doesn't sound "too laid back" at all. Wherever you are, we hope you've found an environment more aligned with your values. Good luck!

      Toxic Culture

      Technical consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Well paying jobs, good amount of opportunity

      Cons

      Company is run by social elite, typical ponzi scheme structure. Culture is absolutely embedded in an elitist mentality, you are either in with the popular kids or you are not. Promotions, accolades and even career termination is mainly determined by who you know and how well you know them. One's body of work, work ethic and ability to tackle problems both internally and externally will certainly come into play as one goes through their career at Informatica, however it will always be trumped by your social status in the company's toxic social culture.

      We are sorry you have such a negative view of our culture. It is very puzzling, as your co-workers in Austin rate our culture 4.47 out of 5 stars according to Glassdoor. As announced at our most recent All-Hands meeting April 18th, we are beginning a round of goal- and performance-oriented discussions between managers and their teams precisely to ensure that career advancement and rewards are based on merit and achievement. Informatica is also about to release its global employee engagement survey, so it will be instructive to see how the Company at large evaluates our culture. Lastly, we acknowledge that Informatica is not for everyone. It is not only a collegial and collaborative environment, but also one that demands top effort and performance. If you are unhappy here, you can discuss your concerns confidentially with your HR representative or seek a situation more aligned with your values. Either way, we wish you the best of luck.

      A good place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Work culture is good and work environment is friendly. 2. Work life balance. 3. Overall kind of work is good.

      Cons

      Work credit is not propagated to developer, manager or some intermediate guys takes all credit, some times it is discouraging. Note :- It may not be true for all teams.

      Hello, Thanks for your feedback. Good to know that you are enjoying your stint with us. We understand your concern on credit sharing. Maybe you should talk to the concerned person directly and express your views, it may help to sort out the matter face to face. Additionally, given that we have an open culture, please feel free to showcase your work to your leader/skip level manager if you think the work environment is not transparent. Please feel free to write to SVP for ILM or work with your local business HR team for help on this matter. Just a tip, maybe the next time it happens, you should speak up and talk about your contribution! regards Yasmeen
