I work as a data scientist. Some of the author's points are workplace-specific: lack of leadership, being the only data person, ethical concerns. The others are just aspects of the job - communicating about your job and impact, dealing with vague specs or managing low-quality datasets.

Neither of those quite match the articles title, perhaps it just refers to the author's personal expectations. Neither of them seem that specific to data science, or without parallels in other software jobs. And neither of the points read like a slight towards data science to me, like some of the other commenters here suggest.
