Too stressful for the pay

Pros

They give you a pay check and there's a free gym

Cons

The pay checks are not commensurate with experience nor ability. Management is poor and lacks leadership.

Business Outlook

Pros

Culture can't be beat, surrounded by talented and successful individuals, emphasis on enjoying the work place while also delivering quality results to customers. Think Big really is the best work environment I could ask for. Competitive pay.

Cons

If you hate fun don't work here. If you hate being uplifted by talented people definitely don't work here. No cons, honestly.

Industry Leader, but has a few quirks like a strict chain of command culture

Product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I have a fairly unique role at Teradata there are about 10 other people in the company that are my peers. In this role, I work remotely and have incredible flexibility with schedule. I get regular raises and decent bonuses even though those have dropped off the last few years since consulting and hardware industries have struggled.

Cons

Strict chain of command culture - makes it tough in my strategic role to get executive input. We have an intense governance policy for everything. Most of my job is working through these governing bodies. Takes a LONG time to get anything accomplished. We struggle with responding quickly as most big companies do. There is NO career path for me since I'm outside of consulting. I'm in a higher level role, but the most I could hope for would be a promotion in 5-10 years.
