Transparency in work
Great work culture - flexible timings(I loved this most), work from home, decent recreational activities

Decent oppurtunities to get exposure working in abroad.
Nice pay and quick promotions if you are performing well.

I have been working at Informatica full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – -One of the most beautiful company to work for when it comes to work culture(Flexible Work timings, Politics free environment, Decent work life balance).
-Many return back to the company after leaving-some in 3 days, some in 3 months and few in 3 years.
-There is no cut throat competition wrt promotions- you will get it when you deserve it.
-Pseudo-startup like environment without the issues associated with a startup.You won your product.
-The CEO - shoaib abbasi

Cons – -Very reluctant in moving beyond data integration/data quality space. They hire graduates from premier institutes but are not able to match their work expectations.
-Salary not competitive enough to competitors so often loose good technical ppl.

Advice to Senior Management – Need to go beyond our comfortable zone of data integration/data quality. There is lot of things going on wrt using data for business outside Informatica. Informatica must have products in the areas of data science/data mining, predictive modelling etc to really expand its customer base. For example, Oracle has oracle data miner. IBM has lot of products in the same category. This will not only increase on revenues but also will attract and retain the best of the talents and make the employees like us stay longer.

Pros – Good work life balance. You scarcely have to be working late nights or on weekends.
Good pay but not pay master. A competetive pay compared to other companies which are similar.
Quick promotions if you are good. For getting promotions you don't have to forget your personal life.
Free lunch, dinner and snacks.

Cons – Not a pay master. Pay is less compared to other prominent players in the market.
In most of the teams the work is monotonous and no new technologies used.

Advice to Senior Management – Not much to advice.
