Which one to choose between Optum and Tiger Analytics for Data Scientist position? Where can I expect better data science domain expertise (In my previous companies I found very less understanding of Data Science practices as team)? Heared good things about both of these. Also hearing Tiger is expanding rapidly and getting some crap projects as well in the name of data science. Could someone put light on these things?
YOE: 4.5 Years
Tiger: 18L Fixed + 1L JB
Optum: 21L Fixed + 1.5L JB

I think it’s more just a red flag/disqualifier if someone doesn’t have anyone that would spend time to paint them in a good light.
You’d be shocked how many people give references that don’t have good things to say about them.
Pro
A lot of places I know, references have just turned into a experience verification exercise.. most large organizations have policy of not giving qualitative references and just HR verifying facts anyways..
Have yet to have a company respond to an employment verification as part of a background check, let alone call references to get opinions on how I was as an employee.
Pro
I’d be curious to know if HR ever actually calls references.
Well often times the hiring managers tell me they're going to reach out to my references, and sometimes my references confirm they received the call. So I'd say it just depends, I suppose.
