Pros

Teradata has complex and very well designed product. Work is very interesting, no matter whatever team - parser, optimizer, gateway, amp, filesystem... we get opportunities to explore and learn complex design concepts. Honestly experience I got at Teradata helping me through out my career.

Cons

Pay is not competitive enough when compared with other companies in the market.

Pros

Still has relevance in the data management area so that you can say you have value to the next employer

Cons

Too many to list. Low pay, too much work, and the work they let u do is some maintenance annal retentive stuff left over by senior people, who never want to train you. After acquiring Firebase/shark, Aster data, Aprimo, and a whole bunch of Hadoop up starts, this company is totally lost and disoriented. Let me remind you this CEO blew 1billion dollars on acquisitions and buy backs and drove the stock to the ground - 80 to 30 in 3 years! I wonder why the whole management is still there. This sleep on the job mindset in upper management has got to change. They should have invested heavily in R&D at that time and maintain the edge and stay relevant. The thing is they do not know technology and they thought they were selling cookies and developers are cookie cutters. Now good people are leaving in droves. I think eventual outcome is company gets sold and employees get mass laid off after acquisition. Will be a good MBA case study material.
