Pros

Informatica has a great reputation, but the reputation is legacy technology which is holding our growth back as we get passed up by younger companies with fresh technology.

Cons

Legacy technology. Haven't transformed into a cloud company which was the reason for going private. Customers not happy with increased support costs because the quality of support and new releases has deteriorated as Informatica has attempted to cut its way to prosperity. Customers say that Informatica has become Oracle. New products have been buggy which has caused customer pain, impacted customer loyalty, and caused issues with the partner community. Just had a big layoff and let go so many talented people. An incredible amount of experience just walked out the door. European and Canadian private equity owners focus on cutting our way to prosperity instead of innovation. Products are segmented into groups so Informatica can be sold off in pieces. Companies that are going to IPO don't have big layoffs. Culture has steadily deteriorated.
