Flexible schedule, lots of opportunity to learn new skills, work with some of the smartest in the field. Teradata gives back to the community. Time off to volunteer. Flexible time off. Great benefits.

Constant change as the company tries to reinvent itself from a SQL data warehouse appliance to a software based analytics platform. Lots of restructuring and reduction in force.
