Informatica Director reviews

Thank you for your review and sharing your thoughts about Informatica. It is true that we are in a transition phrase, but change is part of the dynamic industry in which we compete. As Lao Tzu wrote, "What the caterpillar calls the end, the world calls a butterfly." At our most recent All-Hands meeting, our leaders shared their plans and goals and we intend to stick with them. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best.

We couldn’t agree more with your upbeat headline. Data is core to business and organization success, and Informatica is the company of All Things Data. With any technology company there will always be a dynamic tension between creating new and innovative products and features versus “hardening existing products.” While we are not perfect in this area, the fact that we have won top honors for customer satisfaction from TNS for ten years straight suggests that our customers, at least, feel we are doing a good job. Thanks to you and your colleagues in IPS for being so essential to that effort. “Work/Life Balance” is always somewhat subjective, but – according to your peers on Glassdoor – they rate Informatica between 4.23 to 4.3 (out of 5) on that category. If you are having difficulties in that area, please discuss this with your manager or your HR representative. As for the lack of equity and sharing the wealth, Informatica has developed an alternative bonus program to ensure that our employees do share in our success. As our CFO, Doug Barnett, pointed out at our last All-Hands meeting, being a publicly-traded company is the proverbial “two-edged sword.” The way the markets have treated tech stocks recently, our move to private ownership seems fortuitous in its timing. We will take your advice to heart, and again accept our appreciation for taking the time to share your thoughts.
