Pros

Tetadata is HQ in beautiful San Diego. They take good care of the lawn.

Cons

Teradata is extremely hierarchical. C-level individuals micro-manage their teams. Working remotely is not acceptable. Unlimited PTO but not encouraged to take more than three weeks. Paternity leave is only two weeks. Salaries are meh for San Diego, but not competitive in the tech industry. Engineering driven. The Teradata way overrules industry best practices.

Hi. We’re sorry your experience hasn’t been a positive one. Remote work is common at Teradata, we encourage you to talk to your manager about the possibility of working remotely if it better suits your needs. While there’s a strong emphasis on product development and engineering, Teradata is driven by all employees in every department. We are currently working on a variety of diversity and inclusion initiatives. In fact, we now have a team dedicated entirely to diversity and inclusion! We take your feedback and comments seriously, thank you for your thoughts.

Pros

the worker bees honestly try hard and are great people unfortunately, they either give up and quit or check in after dealing with management

Cons

Management team HR leadership-looking out for themselves, no employee advocates, how many vp and directors does a team of 100 need? No consistency Revolving door of layoffs and rehiring No long term plan Finance couldn't put together a financial plan if their life depended on it

Pros

Interesting industry to be in. Still riding the "big data" and "advanced analytics" wave (although the offerings are not there)...

Cons

Executive management has created a toxic culture of fear. Most good people are long gone. Snowflake and BigQuery will eventually eat Teradata's lunch.
