The Data Science Process

I understand this is a marketing piece but as a data scientist the narrative doesn't resonate with me at all. Are there any data scientists that have actually had an experience like this?

This seems mostly like the "data analyst" job. Jobs with the "data scientist" title that I know of are usually basically programming jobs with a focus around machine learning and large scale data.

Those programming jobs exist because someone at some point discovered a problem that could be solved through statistical techniques. The difference is between moving quickly and exploring new problem spaces and really hammering home on well-defined problems that have solutions that need to be implemented in a way that looks a lot like normal software engineering.
