We are at the point where attrition is so bad that even some of the worst people I've ever had the displeasure of working with are leaving for what they consider to be better positions. Imagine how bad things must be if somebody who works at most 2-3... —  read more 

The bell ringing and marketing hype was a stunning admission on how late Teradata is to Cloud. AWS is 16 years old, and Snowflake over a decade. To finally come out and publicly celebrate basic cloud capability like elasticity in 2022 is baffling. ... —  read more 

The feeding tube is migrating existing Teradata on-prem systems to Teradata bolted onto AWS. This why revenue is flat to declining. It's also why there is no mention of new customers. Interesting with all hype on Vantage CloudLake there was no... —  read more 

Just getting feedback on several customers that attended the possible event last week and had 1:1's with some of the ELT. One has said never to bring KB in front of them again. He missed the point and is obviously inexperienced when meeting or... —  read more 

Teradata is facing some huge obstacles, one of them being the worst ELT in its history. Which one is the worst and why?

I can assure you what I am about to say is not a form of euphoria. Nor am I an HR troll trying to inject falsehoods hear to prop our company up. I have a difficult role with many tight deadlines and many missing pieces that would be considered... —  read more 

Teradata easily lets the best people go to competitors. I stopped caring about it, it's none of my business anymore because I intend to leave soon, but I can't help but notice how the company is becoming a source of talent for other companies... —  read more 

Imagine how much worse it could have been had the management been incompetent!!!!!! LOL

Says Frank Slootman in his book Amp it Up. Of course, we do the opposite. Someone on this board said SNOW has George Patton, and we have Beaver Cleaver. Read the FS excerpts below, and you will decide if that is true. Amp it Up You Don't Need to... —  read more 

The ultimate measure of a firm’s success is stock price appreciation. In 15 growth years in the analytics industry Teradata stock has gone from high 20s in 2007 at spin off to low 30s now. All the celebration over a name change? If TDC was a... —  read more 

Ummm we are a tech company and the legit cto wasn’t at the biggest public thing we did in years. So umm yeah, great.

It happened. 83% revenue growth compared to TDC barely treading water. Snowflake will hit over $2B annual recurring revenue going forward. Overtook TDC in In the exact same market that Teradata once had a leadership position in. Anyone in TDC... —  read more 

I think the fact that TD is having a hard time adopting new technology is a huge problem. What are the reasons for that? Colleagues who left this place tell me that the hardest part of their transition in new companies was getting used to much more... —  read more 

Aug 30th, 2021, TDC - $57.04 Aug 24th, 2022, TDC - $34.17 BOD, aren't you supposed to act on behalf of shareholders? Then act! Something is broken and it ain't getting fixed.

What’s the betting that we get overtaken on quarterly revenue by a company that didn’t even exist just a few years ago ? Is that because they are so much better than us or because we are so much worse than they are ? I guess the customers decide... —  read more 

Let me enlighten you. People are leaving because they're tired of never getting credit for the good work they're doing and always being reprimanded even for the slightest mistakes they make. They are leaving because the management keeps ignoring... —  read more

Everybody I talk to seems intent on leaving Teradata as soon as they can. It makes me wonder if that's the case for the majority of employees or if it's just people in my group itching to get out. I personally don't plan on leaving just yet but I... —  read more 

Weeks? Months? I mean, c'mon, what's really changed in the 8 month since she started? Can anyone say that collaboration is better? Silos are removed? Better-experienced people are occupying top positions (as opposed to buddies from old jobs?). —  read more 

The most important thing is to know when to leave. I'm trying to find a new job and it's difficult, and one of the reasons is that I stayed here for a long time. That's why my advice from experience is that no one should stay here longer than 2 or... —  read more 

TD was actually a great workplace in the past. It is not easy to explain how in a relatively short period it became the exact opposite. What do you think are the critical points that brought this company down?

I hope there won't be any.

the two engineering SVPs are unable to figure how to manage out the innovator VP and their innovative DB. They are blind and deaf to customer feedback because they know better.

I am totally disappointed. This is a sinking ship. I hope that I will be able to make it until retirement, although lately I have been increasingly thinking about taking the risk and leaving. How close to retirement would you still consider job... —  read more 

“I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.” Rather than face reality Teradata, it's just easier to lie yourself. "We are the top Data Warehouse according to Gartner", and "We are cheaper and better than Snowflake"

Game Over - Market Cap, SNOW $53B - TDC $3.8B, Revenue, SNOW Doubling Yearly, TDC Shrinking, New Customers, SNOW winning hundreds, TDC

NC is a genius, how many languages does he know? He actually has a strategy to decrease revenue. So glad we engaged McKinsey to save the company.

SM must have meant downward momentum. 12% drop in total revenue says it all. Blame the Putin Price Hike. This CEO is pathetic-his days are numbered. Bring VL back 😀

Great way to miss the worst results since 2010 and pretend they never happened….well, they never happened as far as Instagram is concerned so they can’t be true.

Heard that YA is leaving today...another SVP gone. Think they'll replace with another mck 'expert'?

other than laying off good workers?

If you leave before the end of the year do you forfeit your whole AIP or do they prorate it?

No one I talked to has any idea which org could be affected, but I don't think it's worth staying in limbo and waiting to be laid off. Isn't that just a waste of time? I've had enough of uncertainty and bosses who don't know how to manage any... —  read more

Teradata missed some major market trends for sure - but most if not all of the issues being surfaced on this site track directly to 4 people. It is not fair to call out the entire ELT. These 4 are: SM, HA, NC, and KCC. If there is a RIF, take out... —  read more 

Apparently, attrition targets weren’t met, nor were the sales target. Russia-Ukraine conflict is our excuse, again. Cloud ARR growth of 80% is not viable anymore (even on our abysmal low revenue baseline)… There we go again.
