From my perspective as a data person, everything on this list is true. I would add on to #4 to say "You're likely the only data person" to say "You're likely the only data person and expected to do everything you need to do your job yourself" (from sourcing the data to deploying your model).

High Data Scientist salaries and expectations combined with a shortage of qualified people often mean you're expected to be a one-person band, which I find to be miserable.
