Pros

When you drill down beyond the management level, some of the best people I have ever worked with. Base comp was good.

Cons

When you look at VP level and beyond, they're all essentially liars. No transparency, no job security because the company is schizophrenic. There's no work life balance and Ratzesberger himself has said many times that he's not that interested in creating work-life balance, he's interested in turning the company around. There's no transparency regarding the bonus structure. Sometimes you get high bonuses, sometimes low. Seemingly for no reason other than at your manager's whim.

Teradata Response

We are sorry that you left Teradata on a sour note. There are two comments which we must address for the sake of accuracy, however. Teradata has a well-established reputation for ethics and honesty as a Company. The Ethisphere® Institute has named Teradata one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for nine years in a row. We are also rated well for our Work-Life balance. Your former peers rate that highest of any attribute of Teradata on Glassdoor, at 3.6 stars out of 5. Do we have room for improvement? Of course. But, as you pointed out, we are in the midst of transforming Teradata into the leader in data intelligence worldwide. We continue to keep our eyes on that prize. We wish you well in your future endeavors.
