      Interview

      Several telephone interviews because this was a remote (work-from-home) job. You will talk to C-Level, Managers, Peers. These are people from Sales, Marketing, and Management in general. There will be several Technical people you talk to so they can assess your tech level. If there are other Teradata employees near where you live, you will interview with them too. A final in person interview at HQ where they fly you out and put you up in a hotel. By this point, you got the job but you still need to bring your A-game.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      You are part of the technical sales team, you need to be an "expert-level" technology person as in all things computer science. That is just behind the starting gate if you will. From there, you need go and show you can capture and sustain an audience (C-level and other technical people) in a meeting because you need to sell the product. As a Solution specialist you are providing a "demo" and/or "proof of concept". Therefore you are expected to demonstrate this in the interview.
