Pros

Good technology to be learned

Cons

The management is pretty bad. Thre is not a clear path where the company is pointing to. Very good technical people have been laid off. Basically, an employee is just a number.

Pros

Good family life balance, good salary and benefits, good/cutting edge technology

Cons

Leadership still has no clue. Company in transition, but many at the top are still old Teradata and that is their problem. Instead, they lay off folks and have been for a few years now as the "transition", but they are not even sure what to transitin to and certainly not capable of doing it themsleves...as they have no ecperience in doing so....

Pros

Historically great company. None better. Was and still is great database. Some of the best people you will ever know.

Cons

Company leadership seems to be slipping into the same games as former management. Missed QTR expectations by double digits again yet somehow we are on transformation track. Sit on the front line. Silly.
