What are the Best and Worst things about your job?
Best
I love the varied work, the flexibility of hybrid working, the salary, the people (every BJSS employee I've met has been lovely to chat to & work with!). We also have squads which are groups of people from all different projects and we have socials and things. The community is really lovely to be a part of.
Worst
Some projects are very tough and a bit of a slog to work on, and some clients require you to be on site sometimes which can be draining when you have to travel far to get there etc.
What is the annual salary for this role?
Starting salary: £29,000 - £31,000
Current salary: £29,000 - £31,000
What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
There were 4 stages to the application process:
Telephone interview, coding test, interview with Academy graduates & interview with local office senior.
The code test can be done in many different languages, it's the principle of how coders think rather than testing specific language skills.
Do you have any interview tips?
The telephone interview was more classic interview questions: what's your background, why do you want to work at the company, what are you doing at the moment, etc.
The second interview with academy graduates includes a presentation on a tech project you've done before or an area of tech you're excited about, as well as a pair programming exercise that you have to prepare for in advance, and then you get the opportunity to ask them lots of questions but all in all this was much less stressful than I had anticipated, the interviewers were very friendly!
The final interview with the local office senior is more of a formality, basically them sussing out your character to see if you'd be good to work with. Mine was very chill, he gave me some information about the office and then we chatted about some of my hobbies (although someone from another office said their final interview still involved technical questions so be prepared for this just in case).
