Pros

Flexible work schedule. Core technology is cutting-edge. Great benefits, compensation for new employees is good.

Cons

No specific direction. Entire departments are created from scratch then laid-off a year later. "Sorority-like" corporate culture - advancement is not based on skills, but rather who 'likes' you. Non-technical side of the company runs things and does not understand the core technology. Company seems to be chasing it's tail. CEO has allowed barely/unqualified/underqualified VP's run the company, no real leadership (great leadership previous CEO)

Pros

- Choice of working at an office, at home, or a combination of both - RSUs ($0 stock options) granted for performance - Great area of the market: AI, analytics, data warehousing - Great technology and engineering knowledge - Good perks: Half-day Friday in the summer, parties, subsidized lunches and free snacks and drinks - Long-time employees who have been with the company for decades and are very loyal - Salaries are pretty much in line with the market - Good benefits (insurance, etc)

Cons

- Very high executive turnover (I've had 7 direct supervisors in less than 7 years) and more VPs and Sr VPs than I can even remember at this point. - Teradata is an international company, with offices around the world. That means meetings at 7am 9:30pm in the same day. - Strategy churn: It's healthy and expected in a high-tech market to turn on a dime and change projects and strategies to align with the market. Unfortunately, at Teradata those changes are so frequent and short-lived that it becomes a frustrating level of churn. - Poor communication from the executive level down and from individual contributors back up to management. - I thought we had gotten past the culture where it's not safe to respectfully disagree with executives, but unfortunately we have not. - Teradata trains its employees to not discriminate and then sets targets for hiring women and specific minorities (i.e., reverse discrimation).
