Pros

I think I have yet to find a right reason to work for Teradata.

Cons

Low-level management is a big drawback. Due to their developer connection with the applications, they think more like developers than managers. Because of which, applications seriously lack vision and oftentimes they depend on their developer pool to come up with better ideas and product requirements. Applications lack architecture to the core and are developed with immediate returns in mind. Architecture is treated as a Bug ticket and architecture team works like a special needs development team. Work life balance is just a dream in some teams and hard work gets no appreciation. Managers never hesitate to take things personally and reflect that on year end reviews.

Pros

Nice mix groups of people in terms of age, ethnic, experiences. Good and nice people to work with.

Cons

Poor Management and usually no sense of direction. They mostly just want to copy startup companies. Merit and bonus are lowest and close to nothing.
