Pros

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

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.
