Pros

Teradata DBMS technology is the best in the industry. A lot of autonomy for PS Consultants. Institutional body of knowledge.

Cons

Structure is very top-heavy, more senior management than mid-level supervisors and front-line workers. Sales team is average at best. The most belligerent and abusive people are promoted. Strategic direction is unclear even to senior management.

Pros

Teradata field sales management has always valued its individual contributors, and tries to accommodate their personal needs. Teradata technology works as advertised, making it easy to represent with integrity.

Cons

1.2015 layoffs appear to be based on personnel cost considerations, without regard for contribution of individuals to sales successes. 2. Presale Solution Architects (really sales engineers) are expected to also spend a portion of their time delivering on billable Professional Services projects. 3. Senior management tends toward micromanagement, with many internal review meetings held too often.

Pros

Very good benefits: medical and 401K. For the 401K the match is $0.50 for every dollar, up to 6%. For medical you have the choices of PPO and non-PPO. Usually good and friendly atmosphere. Free gym on site.

Cons

Sometimes it can be stressful to meet all the deadlines. Salary is below industry average. Raises and bonus are meager. Promotions are hard to get. Average age is over 45 year old
