The interviewers were very polite and punctual. They asked questions mostly about how I handle problems and also to assess my knowledge level in the required skills. The interview didn't take long and helped me improve in some areas.

Technical Behavioral
It was a 5 stage process. First, there were 3 technical rounds. Then, a round with a senior manager or director. Finally, an HR round. The technical rounds were a bit tricky, they presented us with some situations and asked for our approach, testing our knowledge of advanced performance Engineering concepts.

Beware, Informatica in the UK posts jobs without approved headcount. You might be wasting your time because there's no real job. I went through 3 interviews (2 phone calls, 1 face-to-face with a presentation). Then, they said they were preparing an offer and advised me to stop looking elsewhere. Three weeks later, I got a generic email stating the headcount wasn't approved. That's something they should check before talking to candidates. They were complete time-wasters.
