About this episode
While the popular image of a data scientist is one solving cutting-edge problems at a large tech company, data scientists work in every type of organization. In this episode, we talk through five company archetypes, from small start-ups to government contractors to traditional retail companies. We weigh the pros and cons of working at each and debate the career changing question of: "should you be a company's first data scientist?"
