      Pros

      I can't think of any.

      Cons

      This place is an absolute dumpster fire. I have never worked at a less compelling place. -Terrible management and toxic leaders -Products are not compelling whatsoever -Terrible culture-there is no community here and everyone looks like they are miserable. Don't get me wrong, there are some good people who work here, but culture begins with the higher ups and the leadership in this office does nothing to promote teamwork. -Below average workspace/office

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We regret you left Teradata with a negative experience, but understand the frustration that has accompanied our transformation. We are using the latest technologies on our products, including Angular 7, Spring Boot 2 and microservices with containerization. It’s not clear when you may have left, but our office in Raleigh has undergone a remodeling and moved toward an open office concept to help facilitate innovation and collaboration. There is always room for better communication and community building. We will of course continue to work on and improve these things as time goes on. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in your next endeavor.

      Company can't decide what they are

      Pros

      Quarterly quad parties are a good chance to mingle and meet co-workers without discussing work. Reasonable degree of autonomy, with experience. Benefits (except pay) are good.

      Cons

      Pay is below industry standard. Raises are measly; they depend on bonuses to make some of it up but in bad years these are tiny. The annual evaluations have absolutely no relationship to what you actually did during the year, or your value to the company. Company currently transitioning its mission and upper management can't seem to figure out what to be. Middle management is mixed; some are good, some are clueless and have no idea how you spend your day. My last manager didn't know anything about my job and didn't seem to care. Job security is poor as they have instituted periodic random layoffs that don't seem related to performance.

      Pros

      Amazing co-workers, who want only the very best.

      Cons

      Virtually the entire leadership of the company is new and naive, or the old guard is too stuck in pre-cloud mentality to think outside the box. Product is premium, over priced, absurdly complex, and antiquated AWS, GCP, and Azure are the future; while TD has a hybrid/on-prem offering, this will continue to diminish until competition delivers a final blow. Answers are pointless without results, and while TD bloviates about future features and offerings, competitors are delivering daily. I have witnessed several Sr. Executives/C-Suite lie about proof of concept results, account wins, and financial performance. There is no product road map with any reasonable detail or plan. Performance reviews are political and "bell curved" your pay and bonus are entirely based off Management's perception outside of Quota'd roles.

      We're glad you find your co-workers amazing. After all, the people are what make Teradata. We appreciate your feedback, and hope you are also excited for our new CEO, Steve Mcmillan, to take the helm June 8. Here's a snippet of what he has to say about his goals and priorities. " I intend to take a customer-led approach and bring my collaborative and open leadership style to this great franchise to advance its strategy and to ensure Teradata is the partner of choice for customers around the world who need hybrid, cloud-based solutions." Thanks for your review.
