- The worst Data Science you could ever imagine. The team is puppet of other business stakeholders (such as Product, Sales, etc.) and the priorities change almost every other week
- Data leaders lack spine. They let other stakeholders treat DS as a support team rather than thought leaders or drivers of KPIs
- While other companies let their DS spend 30-50% time in deep dives or strategic analyses, it would be a good quarter for you if you could spend even 20% of your bandwidth on analyses. Most of the time goes into ad-hoc, dashboarding, biz reporting, etc.
- Poor data infrastructure
- Too much politics and favoritism for promotions and recognitions
