Pros

They will hire you right out of college as this is the experience they are looking for. They hire fun loving, smart, college graduates. The only pro out of my whole time working at Tresata was that I made a core group of friends in Charlotte. I enjoyed working along side some of the nicest co-workers who were willing to help me any chance they got, as the management did the COMPLETE opposite.

Cons

While the one and ONLY pro was that they hired intelligent college graduates, they do this for a reason. Tresata looks for people who they can take advantage of. Young adults who don't know the difference between how a sane work environment should be versus a manager belittling you any chance they got. Now that I am in a real work environment with sane people who do not put you down any chance they get and actually want you to succeed in what they are teaching you, I can see just how absolutely abusive and toxic Tresata is. The Chief Sales and Marketing Officer is the most disrespectful and toxic person there, aside from the CEO himself. At one point my coworkers and I were scared to simply write an email and press send because we knew that we would just get an aggressive reply, passive aggressive reply if we got lucky. If you ever think about applying to work with either the Chief Sales and Marketing lead or CEO directly, to put it bluntly, just don't. No matter how experienced you are in your work field, no matter how hard your work ethic is, it is and will never be enough for them. A lot of my colleagues would ask me how I do it or why I stayed as long as I did and my answer was always “well it will get better” or “its my first job its supposed to be like this”. I should have never been through half of the things that i went through at that place. Nor should I or anyone think it is a normal work environment. So if you are looking at this page wondering if you should take the offer…. DONT. JUST DECLINE AND LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Pros

* Gives opportunity for direct interaction with C-level suite, great learning experience * Many opportunities for growth and new learnings * Fast-paced working environment * Young and vibrant team with very nice people to work with * Interesting software to learn and in general the concepts of what we do * Lots of visibility on company direction and leadership decisions

Cons

* A bit more work than other places, especially if you are willing to volunteer for things. Not necessarily bad if that's what you are looking for but not everyone signs up for that. * Company often changes direction so reprioritization is usual.. if you can't work ad-hoc and get things done without too much help and supervision, probably not a great place to work. If you like that kind of fast-paced, agile environment (more like a startup rather than a big firm) then it's fine * The salary isn't comparable to those of some bigger companies out there. If you join Tresata, you should do it for the opportunity to learn a lot and grow fast. If money is your priority, you are probably better suited doing Data Engineering for a bigger organization. * The company will "ask" you to step up and take on challenges when it's needed. if you would rather prefer a more "comfortable" job, where most days looks alike (work-wise, like the experience on a bigger firm) then this might not be the best place for you.

Pros

Before the CTO left. The company was very great, but by the time I left, they had totally lost sight of their core values.

Cons

Because the company is small. They will have you do things that are absolutely absurd and make no sense in terms of the overall infrastructure process and will make sure that you will not be heard in terms of concerns. All you can do is just agree and hope to not be fired since they will do mass layoffs and tell you the person underperformed. I’m going to unfortunately have to be a whistleblower and call out the quiet firing practices that were performed in 2023 and 2024. We had members of the Diop’s team that were moved to marketing setting them up for failure. I understand serving where I need is great, but if you don’t train these people to fall into their new role or move them over and expect them to be amazing. It’s clear to me that you just don’t know what you’re doing from a management standpoint.
