Pros
-Friendly: The team culture in the data science team is fantastic. We often have beers together and get together after work for various activities especially in the summer with the weekly volleyball at close by beaches -Collaborative: People usually are quick to offer help and brainstorm problems together -Multidisciplinary: The data science team consists of people from various academic backgrounds such as physics, bioinformatics, mathematics, computer science and engineering. The majority of them hold PhDs or Masters degrees. This means that you often get different perspectives on any problem that we are trying to solve
Cons
-Alignment: Projects can sometimes be a bit slow to start given the number of stakeholders involved -Relaxing spaces: There aren't a lot of activities for people to cool off when they have their code running or dedicated spaces for brainstorming which is now usually done in the common areas
