Pros

Top-Tier technology. Decent brand equity. Well seasoned professional services org.

Cons

Extremely long sales cycles. Mixed messages from mgmt to salesperson. That is, average deal takes 12-36 months. Pressure comes-down rather quickly for ALOT of activity compared to what is realistic.

Pros

Many of the employees have been there for over 10 years. I have never seen such longevity in other companies that I've worked for. The work-life balance is healthy. The compensation is decent. Benefits are good.

Cons

The people have been working at Teradata for so long that they've become stale with their ideas. The company doesn't seem invested in innovation, with their own products or with their own methods. They need to hire new talent but the workplace just isn't attractive to potential hires that are looking for a hot, high tech place to work. Teradata is not that place.
