Cons

High stress, tight deadlines, will work on holidays, bad processes, lack of communication, hard to extract data, long hours, high turnover rate not due to pay. Waves of layoffs. Must I say more.

Pros

There are still some great and awesome people in this company, but they are leaving quickly.

Cons

Politics and poisonous culture are taking over. Turnover and exits are accelerating. The office is dead, many colleagues try to stay away and work from home. The only hope for most of us was just removed by a board of retired people dating back to the good old NCR days.

While times of change can certainly cause some uncertainty, it does not impact or change our strategic direction or the work Teradata does every day. Teradata is also committed to ethical business practices and standards, we've been named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for the ten consecutive years. Thank you for sharing your comments.
