Pros
Some very good and smart technical folks, engineers. Salaries and benefits can be good if you are good. Good culture (would qualify with till a year ago)
Cons
Exodus of talent. The PM team at Bangalore is nearly gone. The CTO and his group of Senior Architects are gone. Some of the best engineers and leaders have already left. Many good engineers in my team seem to be preparing to leave. There are a lot of ex-Symantec (who came after probably spoiling Symantec) folks running the R&D and they are bent on ruining everything that Informatica' s culture stood for. They have accelerated the exit of some good engineers and leaders with their politics and to top it they have replaced them with their cronies and yes-men, some of who have a track record of developing failed products and destroying teams. It would be good if the CEO takes notice to stem the rot. While these are common issues in US, the situation is particularly bad as some of the very senior leaders in Bangalore R&D are spoiling all the culture that made Informatica a great company of yesteryears. Company has missed the Big Data bus. Its products are not able to win the mindshare as well as marketshare that has been taken up by new Valley startups. From Benefits perspective,RSUs of the listed company are gone now as the company is privatised.
