No Innovation or Vision - So Sad

A once great company is in decline. A long list of visionless CEOs and an apathetic BOD. Poor Engineering management. What has HA delivered? One database release in 3 years with no innovative features. Just NOS that is mediocre and catch-up. But hey... — read more 

Stay away from TD if you can

I'm very serious, if you can find a job anywhere else do it. This is the kind of place you go to if you want to see your career die. If you are good at what you do, everybody will see you as a threat and any chance of moving up will be removed... — read more 

Done

Now is too late?

Failing to innovate?

Someone described it very well - Teradata is allergic to innovations. Why are there no more quality innovations? Where has the innovation gone? What is the problem? I understand that innovation is risky and that it’s hard, but c’mon, it’s high... — read more 

Hard to take time off?

Does anyone else have trouble taking time off because they have too much to do? I’d love to take time off but unfortunately, I don’t know how feasible it is because I have a ton of work to do. I hate this company, and the fact that I am still here... — read more 

Eyes wide open

For over 8 years I’ve tried to be an exemplary employee - hoping to get rewarded for all the hard work and extra hours I’d put in. I realized I was being such an id--t when my manager told me my reward should be in a job well done. Seriously? Who... — read more

How would you cope in marketing?

I absolutely agree with the poster who said that the mass exodus from marketing is to be expected, since marketing has to have something to market, and there is no such product. I'm not in marketing, but I already know that it would be very difficult... — read more

Any effort to improve something is sabotaged?

But the issue I have with Teradata, and more specifically my boss, is that any effort I make to integrate something new and current into my day job is blocked and I get reprimanded for even trying. >I was told that if I want to work on something... — read more 

I'll take my chances

I received a job offer and I am not particularly thrilled about it, considering that I have heard from the employees of that company that many of them are also facing uncertainty in that company. It’s a risk, but I like some of their projects that... — read more

This will not work

The ELT is determined to put profit above everything – including employees. They're trying to boost the numbers by laying off good people and creating such work environment that causes so many more to walk away. In the long run, this is bound to... — read more 

How big are your ambitions?

The conclusion that emerges is that there are not many ambitious people at Teradata who have set their goals, are ready to take risks with a new beginning in a new company, invest more in themselves and not wait to be laid off here. It seems to me... — read more

A contradiction between stock price and morale

I find it fascinating how this company’s stock price is soaring after the pre–announcement of results and on the same day this page garners multiple posts about how terrible the working environment is and how inept the executives are. This brings... — read more

Is your skillset irrelevant?

Just curious for those who are looking to get out of TD – is the skillset you’ve acquired within the company considered relevant or obsolete? I want to get out, but I also want to be sure that my skills are kept current and desirable. I want to... — read more

Energy draining things

The atmosphere at Teradata is such that I am less and less able to concentrate on my work and generally having a hard time finding motivation to work. I love my job, but that atmosphere drains all my energy and I’m just a lot less productive. What... — read more 

Just as I was wondering what the CEO may be up to...

With our CEO largely absent from the company–wide comms for some time, I was just wondering what he's up to. Turns out he's busy with diversity dialogues together with our uber strategist, the one who employs his former company to do his job. Do... — read more 

So hate this place...

Why are we still having layoffs?

Do you remember your first day here?

How much of your initial expectations were actually met from the time you started working at TD? It’s funny to me when I think of my first day here. I came in full of enthusiasm, ideas, the will to learn, very ambitious. I was overjoyed when I... — read more 

Talent Naivety

I worked at Teradata for more than 5 years (probably 4 years too many IMHO). The saddest thing I observed, and refused to be part of, was the lack of recognition of true talent and skills and being forced to let them to. You only need to... — read more

Doing the same but expecting different results?

Teradata is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. Does this company even want to make any progress? It seems to me more and more that my superiors are not interested because they are persistently trying to... — read more
