      Pros

      Outstanding reputation in the Data Management space with mature products and excellent customer support. Highly intelligent employee base with focus on teamwork. Large list of reference able Fortune 500 companies.

      Cons

      Recent acquisition by PE firm has caused some uncertainty among customers and employees. Data Management market has become highly competitive in recent years with many new, more nimble vendors offering similar solutions at significantly lower price points.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about working with Informatica. We obviously agree wholeheartedly with your positive comments. The uncertainty about our acquisition has been addressed by analysts such as Gartner and Forrester, and the consensus among them is that nothing has changed in terms of our strategy or ability to implement. As for our price competitiveness, we submit that that there are few, if any, MDM solutions out there that offer the range of capabilities we do, especially when it comes to the Cloud. Our growth in MDM has been running as high as double that of the industry as a whole according to Gartner, so customers must be seeing the value in our offering. Our new Chief Marketing Officer, Jim Davis, will unveil our latest marketing messaging at Informatica World 2016, coming May 23-26 at Moscone Center in San Francisco. Thanks again and best of luck for the coming year!

      Excited for Our Next Phase!

      Pros

      Recent new senior leadership hires are already beginning to revitalize the company. I have been here for almost two years, and it's finally feeling like there is a top-down, detailed approach to our next phase of growth. The shuffling of upper management after going private has helped break down many silos, and I'm finding that there is much stronger momentum in initiatives involving multiple business groups. On an individual level, there are many growth opportunities for those who want to push to advance their career. I have always felt like I had the support of my managers and peers to identify and pursue new projects. We have a lot of good people at Informatica - overall this is a great place to work!

      Cons

      I have heard the phrase "Billion Dollar Startup" tossed around internally multiple times. Sometimes, I think we lack the aggression that true "startup" culture has. We really need to inject this type of fuel into our culture if we want big growth. There is a larger-than-desired number of individuals in middle management roles who are completely coasting, and adding little value. Although understandable for a short time after we went private, being in "a time of change" is no longer an excuse for not pitching in. The passive attitude of some colleagues is really tough for those of us who want to push HARD and get big results for Informatica.

      We appreciate your comments and agree completely that the road ahead is exciting. As the senior team discussed at our last All-Hands meeting, they plan to keep doing what they've been doing and then some. With motivated, positive colleagues such as you, we are confident we will achieve our goals! Thanks again.

      Pros

      New and re-energized management team. Lost of momentum as we enter 2016. Going private unlocks new opportunities to achieve hypergrowth.

      Cons

      Given all the change, we simply must continue to come together as an organization to support each other as we enter the next chapter.
