Pros

Flexible/virtual working Some good people - who struggle against the tide Good customer loyalty program (Peer Advantage)

Cons

Too slow moving/too much process & admin Long hours culture - excellent results expected without the right support (across many parts of the business) Trying to run ALL parts of the business - as if everything still is the warehouse business circa 1999. Lack of direction from Leadership Team Macho Culture - the annual ethics training include the advice that most people who complain to the ethics line are themselves disciplined. (says it all really) old boy network in leadership Poor Marketing strategy & delivery

Pros

Great reputation in the industry; high level of knowledge withing the employee base; reasonably good benefits (for an 'old school' tech firm); RB facility is nicely located.

Cons

Very much the classic "gold old boy" management team- not in the sense of male-dominated (it's not) but rather upper management is very much a closed ranks organization. I have been associated with or employed by Teradata for17+ years, and this is a great company in a solid/stable market - but has lost its way and become very - very - far behind the BI (now Big Data) industry in terms of innovation. The company is struggling at present, with much turnover - the best technologists and thought leaders have already left - and senior leadership is thrashing about trying to figure things out.
