Business Outlook
Pros
Various teams treat data science differently; some take a more software development approach, using Git, unit tests, and Jira. Others take a more analytics-focused approach, dashboards, campaigns etc The former tend to use tools like Databricks and PySpark, while the latter lean more towards SAS and SQL.
Cons
This applies to all companies; it's usually not properly announced which style a team prefers until you've landed on the team. More efforts could be made to make things more transparent about things
