Informatica is the best tech company I have worked at in my career. Company leadership really tries to make this a good place for employees and the company is winning in the market place. Some of the Pros include: - Very little politics for a company of this size - Pay is at the high end relative to other Bay Area tech companies - High level of trust in employees. Non-management employees generally allowed to make decisions - INFA actively invests in both Products and People - Company is doing well in the marketplace and on Wall Street - Leadership (SVP and above) is very experienced and knows what they are doing - Generous vacation allowance
Contras
Few to report here: - Relatively small company size makes it difficult to find promotional opportunities within the company. - Constant takeover rumors. Job may not be secure if company is acquired. A major issue is that the company allows for no stock options acceleration in case of an acquisitions - Some benefits are not aligned with market (e.g. no paid maternity leave, sick days count against vacation balance)
