The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Informatica (Redwood City, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
Recruiter contacted me on Linkedin. Briefed me about the position. It was a backend technical role and very interesting. Setup 45min phone screen. Was interviewed by someone who was a Software Engineer converted from being a QA engineer. She straightaway started with question without introducing herself or asking about me. It seemed like she was reading a script of question and answer. Would consider her as slightly junior for conducting a Senior Software Engineer position interview. Asked two LeetCode Medium question in 45mins. She gave hints wherever necessary.
Got a generic rejection email.
Few days later after the rejection email, i received 2nd phonescreen request from the Principal Recruiter. This was however for UI position. I was confused because I had interviewed for a backend position and had gotten a rejection email. Got on a phone call with the recruiter and realized that 1st phone interviewer had actually passed me on the interview and forwarded me for 2nd phonescreen. However, the position that i had initially interviewed for got filled in 2 days, hence i received a rejection email. This was a bummer and would have expect the process to be more transparent and recruiters realize what is going on.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Informatica (Bengaluru) in Apr 2023
Interview
Quiet exhausting and not worth it. It was 8 rounds of interview. Where in 5 were technical. 1 techno managerial 1 with director and 1 with HR. No interview was started on time. There were so many last moment changes on timings. Most interview are stretched 30-30 min even more than the allocated hours.
The whole process took 1 month. After releasing the offer letter break up. They called after 2 days that the required is freeze.
Not recommended. It’s unreliable. Thank god I didn’t drop papers at my current organization after receiving offer letter.
