Smart People- Company In Positive Transition

Pros

The company is serious about the transition. Much like other companies, they know where they want to go. Messaging from management is consistent and product management has a clear path to future. The company also doesn' t have a ton of egos. When you do talk to an 'old timer', they really have been witness to industry trends and get and understand the cloud. So haven't met someone who hasn't been on board with the message around Teradata everywhere (including cloud). At least not in engineering. Teams are also highly collaborative with many teams either built from the ground up as Dev/Ops or transitioning to same. The environment is respectful. There is a conscious decision to borrow 'only good parts' of other tech companies as teams build their own identity and culture.

Cons

Some of the legacy processes are a bit wonky. But you put up with them because the front end engineering work is really interesting and challenging.

Pros

Teradata respects you for your talents and gives you space to work your hardest. Best place for work/life balance, but it is earned and your time is respected.

Cons

There are many changes, but the company is going through a transformation and with changes comes growth, and the company is doing great things.

Lots of change, questionable strategy

Pros

Great technology. History of innovative solutions and market leadership.

Cons

Almost total turnover of leadership team and senior management, so constant reorganization and management changes. Tried to articulate strategy but change management and execution plan are fragmented. Replaced many long-time employees under assumption that new blood was better than engaging them on the change.
