Pros

I enjoyed my times at Supply Chain Optimization Tech (SCOT), especially the opportunity to work with engineering, data scientist and business. It was fun to translate business problems into mathematical/statistical formulation and then into engineering. Pretty good work-life-balance.

Cons

Most of the complexity of work is "businessy" (understanding the requirements, getting everyone aligned) and not really technical. It's not for everyone.
