Current Employee – been working at Teradata full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Technically challenging, encouraged to use current open source technologies, room for growth for promotion and project leadership. Agile development, continuous integration and test. Company promotes work/life balance, flexible hours. Great benefits.
Cons – Development processes and tracking still conform to waterfall software development model, making it difficult to mesh with agile development. But, mostly it's working.

Current Employee – been working at Teradata full-time for more than a year
Pros – Always enough work to keep the consultants staffed. The benefits are basic, nothing to get excited about. The one standout is the floating holidays...I like this option where I get to choose when to take 6 holidays in addition to the 6 major holidays we already get.
Cons – Opportunity to advance comes in spurts...if you miss an opportunity, you may not get another one.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep driving sales...I enjoy bonuses
