Don't buy the hype

Pros

Amazing co-workers, who want only the very best.

Cons

Virtually the entire leadership of the company is new and naive, or the old guard is too stuck in pre-cloud mentality to think outside the box. Product is premium, over priced, absurdly complex, and antiquated AWS, GCP, and Azure are the future; while TD has a hybrid/on-prem offering, this will continue to diminish until competition delivers a final blow. Answers are pointless without results, and while TD bloviates about future features and offerings, competitors are delivering daily. I have witnessed several Sr. Executives/C-Suite lie about proof of concept results, account wins, and financial performance. There is no product road map with any reasonable detail or plan. Performance reviews are political and "bell curved" your pay and bonus are entirely based off Management's perception outside of Quota'd roles.

We're glad you find your co-workers amazing. After all, the people are what make Teradata. We appreciate your feedback, and hope you are also excited for our new CEO, Steve Mcmillan, to take the helm June 8. Here's a snippet of what he has to say about his goals and priorities. " I intend to take a customer-led approach and bring my collaborative and open leadership style to this great franchise to advance its strategy and to ensure Teradata is the partner of choice for customers around the world who need hybrid, cloud-based solutions." Thanks for your review.

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.
