Business outlook
Pros
Heavy investment in ML Tech stack.
Cons
I moved to Shipt from Target after being contacted by HR. The data science team has all the responsibility for defining the business model, developing ML algorithms, deploy, maintain and even sometimes assist the business and other engineering team. The business has no clue and when the revenue goes for a toss, entire blame is on the shoulders of DS. The DS team has to justify every month its existence. The problems to work as a DS are created just for the sake of creating a problem. Out of 10 business use cases may be only 1-3 succeed. The for other 7 then are on the DS. The situation with DS was so bad, the CTO, Sr VP all switched jobs within the same time frame in the last quarter.
