I worked as a data scientist for 4 months at a VC firm. I have a PhD and thought the work might be legit when I was hired. After the 4 months I quit when it became apparent that my credentials were being used for managerial intrigue and the work was essentially a joke, with no rigor at all. This article hits the nail on the head, unfortunately, these positions are not often real jobs.
