I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Informatica (Redwood City, CA) in June 2015
Interview
I had a phone interview with the HR lady, and a technical phone interview with a senior engineer. Then they scheduled me with a whole morning interviews with a few people in the company. They asked me bunch of technical questions on certain skills. And when I asked them if I need to use those skills in the potential job, and they said no. I don't feel the interviews were friendly and respectful. It seems they just need a worker to fill the empty seat. I left the company and convinced it's not a good fit. The HR lady called me for another interview a few weeks later, and I declined it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Informatica (Bengaluru) in Apr 2025
Interview
Got GHOSTED after 5 rounds of interviews.
Screening round -> Technical 1, Technical 2, Technical+Manager round 3 -> Telephonic Interview.
All rounds consist of technical questions with more stress on technical capabilities in Technical and Screening rounds.

Question 1

I applied through university. I interviewed at Informatica (Coimbatore)
Interview
Six rounds of interviews. Question from computer science domains like Networking, Data structures, mainly database management system, sql , java core concepts as i mentioned in my resume and logical puzzles.
