No interest in individual contributors, management in flux. I don't think anyone knew what I did every day.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Informatica. Without knowing your exact situation, it is difficult to respond specifically. But the re-structuring in Marketing to which you refer happened well over a year ago, so let’s start there. While there were several positions impacted, the changes in Marketing at the time cannot be characterized as a “mass layoff.” The department was re-designed to align with a greater emphasis on programs and that meant that some roles changed. Since that time, Informatica has continued to grow and invest in its infrastructure, including Marketing. As for measuring employees’ performance, our performance management process underwent significant change earlier this year. We implemented a quarterly review process so that managers and their employees could discuss goals and objectives more frequently. This revision gives them the ability to make revisions or corrections as necessary rather than waiting until the end of the year. Response so far has been positive. Since last year, Informatica has continued to grow – the Company’s Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) stands at 17% for the past 7 years. Over half of our revenue comes from products brought to market in the past five years or sooner. We believe our success is a testament to the effectiveness of the strategy developed by our senior leadership and implemented by our employees worldwide. We are sorry that you have a negative view of Informatica. We wish you well in your current and future endeavors.

Thank you for taking your time to share your impressions of Informatica. We are definitely a company of the new and innovative. If you are looking for more challenge, though, get ready for our annual Innovation Days coming up in a few months. This year, 225 teams of 580 participants (roughly 17% of the company) took part from 16 locations. Teams have 48 hours to create a working demo of their idea, along with a PowerPoint presentation to help explain it. On the third day, all teams present their ideas to an all-star panel of different judges at each location. Finalists are then chosen from each region. The first, second, and third place winners, along with three Honorable Mentions, receive cash prizes. Start thinking now about how you and your co-workers can take the top prize for Tel-Aviv in 2016. Good luck!

Thank you for your review. All of the "Pro's" you list certainly describe Informatica well. We are growing emerging technologies at a rapid pace. Our new Cloud and Secure@Source data security initiatives are just two examples. Informatica was ranked 9th on the 2014 CNBC RQ 50 survey of the top fifty innovative companies in America, as well. Check out Anil Chakravarthy's brief video on YouTube where he discusses our innovation and strategy for pushing the technological envelope in the years to come (https://youtu.be/aOTs2p2o8W0). Needless to say, we do plan to "execute the plan well." It takes all of us here working together to make that happen. With great colleagues such as yourself, I am confident we will do just that. Thanks again!
