Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Very open to ideas and change!
The correct leadership team is very cohesive and work well together in terms of forming company strategy, communicating vision and creating a work culture that's respectful and moving in the right direction.
Inept unfamiliar with the solutions or customer requirements
They are very accommodative, they listen and act too. They make you feel valued
The current leadership team is focused on the core values and company's cloud first direction and strategy
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Have a clear and direct strategy. RIFs are not the answer and show you are either terrible at your hiring strategy, or dont know how to allocate resources effectively.
Put people with experience and intellect in charge. The current ELT are clueless with zero knowledge of the market. They rely on external consultants to tell them what to do
Review from Sales Dept
The only people left at the top are now opportunists, they do not understand the product they are selling. Teradata is just a superficial mass of people that have no idea what they are doing. It will go down fast!
Review from Engineering Dept
Stop loading executive board with unqualified Diversity, Inclusion, Equality hires.
Focus on product and employees instead of their salaries and bonuses.
Review from IT Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
benefits and bonus plan is very good
Possibility to get more than my annual package if I perform better

highly competitive with a diverse portfolio of offerings
Review from HR Dept
I feel my base salary is very fair and my bonus structure is in line with competitors. They actually pay bonuses! :)
Review from HR Dept
equity awards reflect contribution and capability
Review from HR Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Approximately 20-30% below market. I was able to get a similar job somewhere else for a 25% pay raise
Real talent is ignored and laid off regularly. Bad strategy for Teradata. Teradata no longer has the technical depth at any level to drive innovation to change its course.
Review from Engineering Dept
Pay that aligns with market average
Pay me what I’m worth in the mark
A jump up in base pay. But that requires a promotion as well which I haven't received in spite of outstanding performance.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Hard working, innovative, results driven.
Review from Engineering Dept
We all want to do great things
Our team is composed of extremely dedicated engineers and technical leaders. They make working at Teradata enjoyable. Every team member is entirely focused on the team's and TD's overall success. Team members, when not overwhelmed, are willing to lend a hand to other teammates when needed.
Great chemistry between team members.. Willingness to share information, support each other and fun to be around.
Experienced and work with great together as a team
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Stop being territorial. There were workers who refused to share past work because they were concerned they wouldn't get credit, as if this were elementary school. Too much insecurity. Get rid of the ego
Form a union to keep company in check
Need more technical coworkers and management
Everyone wants to be a strategist but no one wants to do anything.
Review from Sales Dept
Stop meeting for the sake of meeting. Start with a clear agenda and stick to it.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The front line people doing the work
Review from Engineering Dept
Very inclusive, friendly and supportive.
For the most part, kind, helpful people at peer environment.
Working from Home is convenient
it is a collaborative environment
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
New leadership. especially in sales.
The culture is a joke. Performance is not the focus, making your manager look good is
Hybrid Cloud not just Cloud company. Stop finding low pay employees out of USA that cannot do the full scope of Field Service rolls.
Wow get away from Zoom calls and virtual meetings
Get rid of excessive senior leadership, who only follow processes without understanding the technology
Review from Engineering Dept

I will say this was a solid piece of the experience. Great interviews.
the process moved fairly quickly
Short, meaningful, variety of questions

Very friendly people, easy interviews
Semi-structured but very friendly interviewers.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
I am not so sure
Review from Engineering Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Ability to work remotely and being given time to focus on and complete technical challenges with fellow teammates.
The flexibility it comes with it, that you don't work under pressure and that you're provided with all the tools necessary to deliver a quality work
Bring recognized for my hard work and contributions.
My pay check every other week
learning experience and good exposure to the different industry verticals.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The product needs to improve
Most customers are actively discussing leaving Teradata, citing poor cloud performance and scaling issues. Core product needs to be rethought from scratch with a native cloud architecture
need to clear Board and CEO and start with most qualified.
Conflicting priorities and middle MGMT de-prioritizing priorities without great org agreement and buy in When division
Job is a moving target. Hard to keep customers happy.
