I applied online. I interviewed at Informatica (Bengaluru) in Dec 2022
Interview
Usually a 3 or a 4 step process. 2 rounds conducted by peers and one round by managers wherein they ask for a presentation to be delivered. Nothing very technical
Lot of changes to the interview schedule in the last two rounds person sitting in the US postponed the interview a few times. After completing three rounds in the final round the head of customer success asked if I had the knowledge about the product if this is the reason for rejection they would have informed at the beginning instead of wasting the time. The postponed interview a couple of times which cost it time and effort. Lotus research and presentation was done however I was not happy with the kind of experience received. It lift sad impression

Question 1
Technical knowledge on Data Integration and Informatica tool.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Informatica in Jan 2025
Interview
I was referred to Informatica by two current employees and was genuinely excited about the opportunity. Unfortunately, the interview experience was frustrating and disappointing. Over several weeks, I invested a significant amount of time preparing for five rounds of interviews, which included developing a detailed panel EBR presentation as a final interview. Despite this effort, half of the panel - including the hiring manager - did not attend the EBR presentation. No one followed up to acknowledge their absence or offer an explanation.
To make matters worse, the recruiter offered to meet afterward to answer questions and share feedback. I accepted her offer and expressed interest in the conversation, but it's now been six weeks with no response. The lack of communication and basic professionalism throughout this process made it clear that candidate experience is not a priority.
This experience left me with serious concerns about how Informatica treats both prospective and internal stakeholders. I expected more - especially coming in as a referral.
