Another stellar event in Los Angeles in October to showcase the amazing Teradata solutions, demonstrate how Fortune 100 customers are flocking to us, and to highlight how we’re so far ahead in AI! You won’t want to miss it!
Is teradata worth joining right now?
I've heard that teradata has not been in a good shape on Glassdoor and I'm not exactly thrilled by the offer I got. The pay raise from where I'm at is solid but like 90% of my team is outsourced to India including my manager and they told me I'd be... — read more
Leave if you can
I used to think things would get better if I just hung in long enough. Turns out the truth is, you wake up one day and realize years have passed and nothing’s changed. Sadly, you don’t grow here, you just survive. It’s not worth the mental toll. If... — read more
Sumeet is pushing for a RTO mandate
In case you haven't heard, this 4'10" johnny-come-lately has been working tirelessly with HR get people back into the office. I have it on good authority that the RTO mandate will get enacted sometime in late August. If you live anywhere near a TD... — read more
new CSA role
good or bad?
Gone the times when the whole company…
…was working hard at the end of a quarter. These days the CEO along with some key figures are OOO. Must be a great quarter then with early successful deals closing?
Extremely challenging but not desesperate
To survive and thrive, Teradata must continue its pivot from appliance-based legacy to cloud-first, AI-infused platforms — and win the mindshare war it’s currently losing.
WHERE TD STANDS UN MY VIEW
🔹 Sting or Weak? Moderate sting. Teradata is not a weak player — it’s solid, especially in large-scale enterprise data warehousing and analytics. It still stings in use cases requiring: • High concurrency • Complex SQL workloads • Integrated... — read more
AI Factory launched
Oh boy! The company is saved!
Will there be another round of RIFs in Oct?
Who know? Given it’s been the norm for the past handful of years it would only be a surprise if it didn’t happen.
C Level making money on bad decision after bad decision
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong. That is Teradata leadership.
It's Time for Teradata to look at the Data....
The company has been in decline for a number of years. That should partly be blamed on the product but dig deeper and identify the other constant. With a last in first out policy, recent hires who have not created the negative impact on existing... — read more
Still no press release on JW
I would think they would celebrate that useless diversity hire getting canned.
Most recent RIF Headcount?
How many people were laid off in the June sweep, all salespeople or others affected? Glad to be with a competitor!
Was that all for now?
….or will there be another round?
Must be good to the big guy’s buddy
The new cost cutter is getting an inducement award to board the sinking ship. The awards were made pursuant to Teradata’s previously announced 2025 New Employee Stock Inducement Plan (“NESIP”) and as a material inducement to Mr. Rogers joining... — read more
Time for Evan Randall to fall in his sword
After leading a disastrous systems 'upgrade' (Optimus Prime?! What are we? 12yo?) and with a disorganized and dispirited workforce that he rarely communicates with in any meaningful way, its time to see if others can do better. At the very least, we... — read more
FIre the CEO
It's time
Layoffs in India and Pakistan
A lot of people in India and Pakistan who were not billable or working on internal non revenue generating projects were let go. This ship is sinking fast.
“Winner’s Circle” - really?
Teradata having a celebration event is like the Colorado Rockies celebrating their star players. And flying them to Rome? Shows how out of touch and privileged the ELT is. I guess there is an award for who’s revenue shrunk the least.
Enough is enough…..It’s time to go
It’s time for the lazy incompetent AE’s and the Service Sales Executive in the UK&I who have been hiding behind the promise of sales on large accounts to go. They have been BANKING on being shielded by the sheer fact that they have ownership of the... — read more
Finally!
That embarrassment of a CMO is gone and off the website. I imagine Marketing types globally are dancing in the streets.
So unprofessional
Managers here don’t manage anything. My boss doesn’t even know my name, doesn’t train me, and doesn’t care. I ask for help and get ignored. What’s the point? I’m young, not stupid. This isn’t how you run a business. I already have two interviews... — read more
And yet the deadwood in EMEA sales still remain..
I’m astonished how the some of sales people in EMEA (specifically those incompetent ones in UK&I) are unscathed by the latest round of rifs. More than likely they are being protected by incompetent geo leads a yet once again our company has lost... — read more
Teradata now has a Chief Administrative Officer

lake offering and its architects
Lake is what ultimately led to the company’s downfall. Six years of investment driven by HA, TM, and DS yielded no revenue. It’s disheartening to see Teradata—once the undisputed leader in data warehousing—reduced to this.
CxO shake out
Shake out CxO, re org here and there to distraction from core issues, bring buddies from previous companies . Same pattern everywhere and every time
Private Equity Buyout/acquisition inevitable - Has to be coming soon
For those of you that have been at TD for a couple years, you've seen how quickly the company is collapsing. Declining revenue, stock price below IPO two decades ago, huge turnover in management, ZERO product innovation, consistent layoffs in high... — read more
If you've been laid off...
It's ok to feel bad. Despite what some ungrateful individuals might say on here, it's never a joyous occasion to find yourself out of a job. Best of luck on your job search.
ELT...you want the truth..may be you can't handle with the truth!
Yes failed leadership and vision has led to the decline of Teradata. Too engrossed in the hype of a legacy solution which now has been overtaken by creative, visionary competitors who connect with customers at a both technical and strategic level... — read more
Massive Rif
Any one impacted ?
As the axe begins to fallIs it time to start calling people out?
What will most definitely be another difficult week for some hard working employees who will be faced with redundancy through no fault of their own, is it time to start calling those culpable individuals out who have just taken an easy ride. Let’s... — read more
How do you survive the RIF
In sales it's all self evident really. Look around you, you will see people that have survived the RIF action YOY. Survival is not always down their capability...it's about several things and they have got it down to an art. Firstly, make sure you... — read more
Totally hoping to be chosen this coming round
Getting laid off from this demoralizing, crumbling company would be a true liberation.
Time to reflect...but will they?
As the inevitable looms for many at TD across the globe, will those fortunate sales people who have avoided the cull year on year self reflect and acknowledge they could have and should have done more. I see from a recent post, Sales were... — read more
Deep regrets
Good luck, TD. But I fear it's too late now. When I worked there years ago, I remember the CTO — in his Hawaiian shirt — confidently denying the relevance of Cloud technology, while senior Solution Architects nodded along like it was gospel. I felt... — read more
Stock Lower Than 2007 IPO Price
TDC stock lower than IPO 18 years ago. Dismal and depressing company. Who still works there? Must be a grind every day.
Large scale layoffs this month and next
Tools down guys, first round June and second round July. AEs with no pipeline, overlays and underperforming BUs are gone first then marketing. Deeper cuts in July. Reliable senior source. Stop working now and get your CV out. The ELT has gone too... — read more
There comes a point when you just stop caring
I’ve worked myself into the ground trying to prove I’m enough, and for what? To be ignored while others coast by on favoritism? I’m done chasing approval from people who never intended to give it. From now on, let them complain. I won’t be bending... — read more
