The first two consulting companies I worked for (all small engineering companies) called the main conference room the Fishbowl. They always had windows on all sides.

At the first, I was only in that room for a few meetings and a lot of food when working late; at the second it was a few meetings and a lot of cake (company of 30 ppl had a monthly birthday celebration that included cakes usually homemade by the president and VP's wives, who both worked there).

Senior to Manager-level Data Scientists, what is the minimum set of skills and experience you require someone to have in order to train them to be a Data Scientist?
