I am new grad. Just joined Informatica through campus recruitment. I was assigned team MDM(master data management). I am not sure but I think this is a dead field. The product is so old, there is no programming as such in product. The UI is in Java Swing so they are moving it to React and I will work on React. I don't want my career to start like this and work on challenging and interesting problems. There are other new grads with me who have been assigned good teams. What should I do? Switch company? Switch team? #NewGrad #Informatica #MDM
Wait until you see applet in MDM :D
Migrating UI should be interesting... Nonetheless.. Incase you're not enjoying your work, I'm guessing your internship is going on as of now... Start looking out for opportunities and you can leave after the internship is over..
Is there any possibility to change team after internship is over?
Really hard here at Informatica.. They might if you are about to leave and they really want you to stay...
Yep, MDM isnt very exciting but a great time to learn React. They almost killed the product on 2016 but with the entire planet focused on data that product has become a extremely important to INFA. Its also the biggest money spinner. I would hold on as they need to rebuild the product to be truly multitenant and then shift all the legacy install base over to the new platform which will be cloud based. Some good news is that the new CEO was the CTO/Product leader so that group is getting more investment. My only caution about working in Redwood City is that its boring as all hell! You wont find anyone headed up to burning man or going clubbing on a friday night.
But don't you think the approach they are using is ages old. Which is not at all interesting or challenging at all. Even a sophomore could built a wrapper over Oracle DB.
MDM will Never fade
If you wana get lowballed and stagnate your career then informatica is your place. Such a slow moving company MDM is will bore you very quickly
