Pros

Great products and install base. Happy customers. Sales comp plans were good.

Cons

Unrealistic goal setting, major disruptions in sales territories and coverage assignments have caused high turnover and hurt sales growth. Communication from exec management is poor.

Thank you for your review. When a business undertakes the kind of fundamental changes Informatica has, there will be significant impact throughout the organization. We tried to anticipate that and prepare our customers and employees accordingly. Feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly affirmative. Employees have been generally positive, as well (Informatica still rates higher on Glassdoor than our peer companies, for example). We put particular emphasis on communicating as frequently and openly as we can. And we recently introduced an additional bonus program to reward our people even more for their efforts. We also paid out our existing corporate bonus at 103% of plan. We continue to monitor our environment to ensure that Informatica remains one of the most desirable and rewarding places to work.

Pros

Market leading data management software company with strong market presence and customer base. Solid core products and used to have good people to work with on the front lines.

Cons

Open source software is more agile and Informatica is playing catchup in the big data world. Recent development has been stagnant and some of the tertiary software is quite buggy. Bloated software portfolio makes it difficult to be deep enough in all opportunities. SC's need to rely on specialists. No real opportunities for advancement on the tech side. Hasn't had any real leadership in worlwide field operations in years. Can't trust upper management after being told repeatedly that the company wasn't going to go private. Upper management getting rich off of stock options and stock grants while everyone else fails to benefit from buyout. Equity in the newly private company was not spread to all employees. Only offered to mid-level management and higher. Also, no retention bonuses mean that the company is bleeding experienced and successful people in sales and pre-sales.

An alternate view to consider is that Informatica continues to strengthen its product leadership position in multiple categories. Informatica has been named to the 2015 DBTA 100: The Companies That Matter Most in Data; won the 2015 CODIE Award for Best Data Integration; won 2015 Best New Product in Data Security for Secure@Source; and was named Leader in the Gartner 2015 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service. According to InformationWeek, “Informatica is no longer just another Salesforce partner. With the advent of the Internet of Things Cloud, it is now Salesforce's primary connectivity partner.” (Babcock, Charles, “Salesforce IoT Cloud Success Rests on Informatica Partnership,” InformationWeek, 09/17/2015) Our goal is to provide career opportunities for employees to grow and advance their careers if possible, though we cannot, of course, promote everyone. We believe our compensation and rewards are highly competitive but yes, the private equity world does have a different model in terms of equity distribution. In terms of our leadership team, I am sorry you feel the way you do. Some uptick in resignations is inevitable at this inflection point in the company’s journey, but we continue to attract great new talent into the company and many tenured and amazing “Informaticans” are still with us as they believe in the opportunity ahead of us and that Informatica is still a great company.

Thank you for your comments and your positive outlook. In addition to good products, Informatica also offers exceptional customer service and our employees rate us 4 out of 5 stars on Glassdoor as a place to work. There have been some changes recently in the Sales team and that may have led you to believe that there is "no career path." The Sales leadership is working very diligently to demonstrate its strategy to provide you with the incentives and direction to help you advance and enhance your career. We encourage you to share any concerns you may have with your manager or your HR representative. We believe the best years for Informatica lay ahead of us, and we want you along for the journey! Thanks again for your review.
