Interviewed Nov 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 3 weeks)
First they asked us to write a Written Test which consist of two parts : MCQ and subjective. MCQ paper had RDBMS, UNIX, C, aptitute questions.
After one week they informed me that i have cleared test and have to come for F2F interview.
First Round : They asked me some puzzles, basic question on java, design patterns and write few codes.It was easy. Cleared first round.
After first round they kept me waited for around 45 mins(No coordination between HR and Interviewer).
Second Round : Asked me about mutlithreading code, some data structure implementation in java, other java questions- around 50-60 mins. He asked me to meet HR.
HR told me that 2 rounds are completed and you will be called for next round early next week.
They didn't call me after that when i followed up with them after some time HR told that he didn't get interview feedback yet.
Very unprofessional behavior of their at least they should have inform candidates irrespective of whether he/she selected or not.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
What they are expecting is not any kind of expertise in programming but basic knowledge would be enough.
There were a few command based on Linux CLI. During the interview procedure there was much repetition of questions and even puzzles! Keep Cool and you can easily make it through even if your not the most brilliant one in the group! Thats how I did it!

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 6+ weeks)
First of all Hr called me up for the telephonic interview. the nest day telephonic round happened and just after the round hr again called me up that you are invited for the nest round of interview in informatica office.
over there 5 technical rounds were taken and all these were taken by very senior people. Then even after 30 days of the interview they dint replied for the feedback and after 35 days they called me up for the final HR round . they asked for salary slips and the offer letter of my current organisation. Highly unethical on the part of informatica as there is no company which asks for the offer letter.
Highly disappointed by Informatica as never expected this kind of unprofessional behavior from their side.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Redwood City, CA (took 2 months)
I sent my resume directly to a hiring manager at Informatica. She responded to me very quickly and set me up with phone interviews with a recruiter and herself. I ended up interviewing with many, many people and came in to the office many times. They were extremely thorough. I was consistently informed of status, which I appreciated a great deal as I was interviewing with a few other companies.
Interviews were typically 45 minutes. I spoke with people from many parts of the organization so I didn't mind getting a lot of repeat questions. They were very specific in getting the information they needed. Lots of behavior interviewing where they asked me exactly what I did in previous situations, what the outcomes were, anything I might have done differently etc.
The interviews could be somewhat daunting, but the interviewers were very nice and respectful even when digging deep.
My advise is to hang in there through the interview process. They take longer and they really want to make sure you are the right person. The result is that if you get in you get to work with a lot of exceptionally talented people. You can get a job a lot faster and easier, but it won't be as good a job.

Managers and recruiters are flexible. Tell them where you're at, what other offers you have and just be open and honest. They'll take care of you and make sure you are paid fairly compared to your peers and also compared to the general market.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 4 months)
They are highly unorganised when it comes to intervew the candidate. They did not setup the proper time for an interview. They always give an impression is their team is very busy and did not have time to interview the candidate. If you will see their professionalism during the interview process then you will not like to join them.

Mostly puzzles, algorithms and Java related questions. 4 rounds. Pretty relaxed environment.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Redwood City, CA (took 2 weeks)
The process is fairly traditional. Each individual that I met with was terrific. There was no high pressure or negative feeling that came across to me. They were all professional and truly cared to find the right fit for the position. It was a terrific experience and one of the few that I was able to relax into.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
Never applied , HR saw my profile on LinkedIn and contacted , i dont work on Informatica anymore though i do i have Informatica experience i think they were more interested in my "big data" experience.The interview was very technical and i was not satisfied with my performance at all ,nevertheless i was called to face to face interview with VP and a regional manager . Base salary that they offered me was not that great but the bonus was considerable .
