In my experience it is common to meet managers who think they have far more data than is really the case. What data they do have tends to be inconsistent due to changes in processes and program changes. This is particularly gruesome when a migration between ERP systems had been undertaken or after a company merger or even reorganization. It is impossible for a data scientist to reliably identify the data problems of a prospective employer during the interview stage. The biggest companies often have the messiest data. But you would need to talk to the IT staff in the trenches to discover that fact. |

Can also back this up 100%.
Too many times I’ve had “we have some x data, we need you to do y”. Turns out, the data they “have” is a 15 line excel file of unknown provenance and replicability; nobody in the dev/marketing/finance/etc team has the time, interest, or project alignment to care what you want, and what they’re trying to do needs a team of phd’s anyways, but all of this falls on deaf ears.
