Pros

Still leading edge database technology. Good list of loyal customers and market leader. Talented people. Management finally sees the need to change/transform.

Cons

Fragmented and tactical business strategy. On the ground - every account is a battle to win. In the sky - too worried about Cloud. Meantime loves to talk about services and analytics - but all investment is still going elsewhere.

Teradata has complex and very well designed product. Work is very interesting, no matter whatever team - parser, optimizer, gateway, amp, filesystem... we get opportunities to explore and learn complex design concepts. Honestly experience I got at Teradata helping me through out my career.

Pay is not competitive enough when compared with other companies in the market.
