We appreciate your review. There is a concerted effort to deliver on any change communicated by our leadership, much of which has happened within the last two years. Our product vision remains strong, and our product proves it. Teradata was recognized with the highest score amongst all of the vendors in The Forrester Wave™: Data Management for Analytics, Q1 2020. Still, we understand frustrations that might stem from change. We wish you the best in your next endeavor.

A Great Career Challenge at a Legacy, Challenger Brand

Senior marketing manager

Pros

I'm coming up on a year working at Teradata. It has been one of the most challenging yet fulfilling roles of my lifetime. Imagine a 40-year old legacy brand in the midst of a giant transition and you can sense what it's like to work here. Yes, lots of moving parts. Yes, lots of items still in flux but that is what I think I like most about working here. We have an amazing product and amazing people and all working to make a difference. Love the CMO too and feel very supported here.

Cons

We're large, we're global and there are a lot of territorial issues. As in people feeling left out if they aren't included in meetings or emails nonsense versus realizing that omissions are not intentional and let's just get on with it. I have low tolerance for insecurity and some team members have this notion that they, and they alone, need to be included on everything. A small gripe given how much I like working here.

Great work-life balance, great pay, not so great direction of company

Pros

Great work-life balance, great pay, flexible working hours, culture is very mindful of flexibility

Cons

Not so confident on the direction of the company. Many employees believe in abandoning a cloud strategy as on prem is our bread and butter, while executives push "cloud first" without having a product that is truly architected for the cloud.
