Pros

The people are truly the best part of Teradata — smart, hard-working, and deeply committed to improving the company. Collaborative environment where most employees genuinely care about doing the right thing. Strong sense of teamwork and pride in delivering value to customers.

Cons

Constant shifts in strategy make it hard to build long-term momentum. External pressures from activist investors and market competition drive reactionary changes. Innovation is a challenge, and the product vision can feel unclear or inconsistent.

Pros

Fully remote. Great office, with free gym, electric car charging,

Cons

Bad compensation package compared to other companies. However due to this they would have incredible work life balance. Ever since old CEO Oliver Ratszenburger's mess, teams have been pushed into more and more crunch mode with lower head counts. Also they tend to be very behind on current tech stacks. When most companies had phased Python 2.7 we were still mainly using that until our Cloud Service Providers forced us to migrate. Along with a general aversion to using Open Source software vs making everything in house. Really bad politics between teams with bad Silos between teams. Most teams would not know of each other products, and would be stuck in their own little island without knowing what the rest of the company is doing.
