Pros

I enjoyed my times at Supply Chain Optimization Tech (SCOT), especially the opportunity to work with engineering, data scientists, and business. It was fun to translate business problems into mathematical/statistical formulations 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.

Advice to Management

The area seems overstaffed with engineers. There wasn't enough meaty work, and hence there were some politics and made-up promo work.
