This place is now full of services hires. From the CEO to the SVP of engineering, they are used to working with service people and not real software engineers of an enterprise product.
They treat people like interchangeable parts and hire and fire as needed like Xmas season hires. They lack product knowledge and no appreciation of the professional software staff that they inherited so you can imagine what they really think of you.
The only real Teradata engineering architect has made for the door by going part time, leaving the rest of the engineering staff to the wolves of services style management.
