What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

Structured pay progression.
Wealth of professional support and guidance.
In general everyone you speak to wants to help you develop. I constantly have to contact people I have never met before in order to arrange meetings with them based on mentor objectives and everyone is always positive and willing to take an hour out of their day just to talk to you.
Flexi time.
The Dockyard is so large that there are loads of different teams so you will find a place that suits your individual needs or interests.

Worst

At times there can be a lot of personal progression, which while helpful can be very overwhelming.
A mix of rumours and inconsistencies often mean that rules are interpreted differently depending on the office you are in.
Application process can be slow as there are a lot of things to sort out before joining. Fellow grads had a mixed experience with the application process, some without a hitch, others with many issues.
