At any company there are at least two problems that are incredibly novel that you as a Data Scientist could unlock. Beyond that though, there are a number of common problems that seem to span across any company in any industry.

Not to give away the list of things I would first check on if hired, but here they are:

• Customer Lifetime Value
• Customer Attrition
• Clustering Customers Intelligently
• Machine Failure
• Consolidating Data Collection processes.
