What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

I get along well with my colleagues and feel like a useful part of the team. I have excellent support when needed and great flexibility in the job. Training and incentives are great motivators to advance your skills. There are many mentor figures that can give new starters great advice and you always have people that can help.

Worst

Resourcing can be unclear when making decisions on project assignment and as the company grows, decision making can slow down and so if you want to transfer project or need something from resourcing it can be slow.

What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Make sure that you read up on the company and understand the nature of how a consultancy operates compared to a more traditional software development company to ensure it is right for you. Understanding the application and proving to yourself that you fit the requirements will definitely save you any stress later during the interview process.

Do you have any interview tips?

Brush up as much as you can on your coding for the technical aspects of the interview process. Overall, be honest and treat the interviewers as friendly people who want to see you succeed. They are people just like you and I who want to see that you are not only proficient technically, but would also be a joy to work with. They want to see you succeed so being respectful and putting in the required preparation is key to this.
