I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Teradata (Hyderabad) in Apr 2018
Interview
They are highly unprofessional in their approach. They scheduled the interview and and candidate keeps waiting for 20 mins. You can only guess that it had been cancelled. Seems like something seriously wrong with this company.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teradata (Pune) in Jan 2017
Interview
I received a call from the HR regarding scheduling of my interview two days earlier.
The process was swift and easy. Everything was managed well and it started and ended on time
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions like basic Datastage questions about stages used, scenarios and SQL queries were asked in first 1:1 round.
The second round was with the panel where they asked me about my previous company experience and my work there and asked few other scenario based questions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Teradata (London, England) in Feb 2018
Interview
3 rounds of interview in different location sacrificing annual leave and family commitments. Teradata pretends to be at cutting edge of analytics but the truth is they are a bunch of box and license selling organisation and that too of analytics products of yesteryear. Pretty sure they will not survive the AI/ML onslaught. I was made to wait for 3 months during the entire process and every time the feedback coming from HR was great to the extent that offer was being actively considered. After three months of active engagement in the process I was told that they are not in a position to offer and progress as the company was restructuring. I suspect that there was no approval of the role and it reflects the lackadaisical attitude of hiring managers and HR. I ended up wasting 3 annual leaves, other opportunities in top companies and constant pushing to reimburse my interview expenses. Clearly shows lack of empathy towards potential employers and constant power struggle culture at the top management. Very immature and struggling/sluggish organisation.
Friendly advice to all potential employees - stay away !
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH TERADATA !
