What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

The new problems I get to solve with every new development or project. In addition meeting new people from different teams and working easily with them. Every day i feel like I am learning new skills and with the support of my peers and superiors I am coming forward in leaps and bounds with my technical skills and overall confidence.

Worst

Project based working means that there can be a significant ebb and flow in the volume of tasks you have to do. Some days I have a good list of things to keep me happily busy and on others I am so bored I get the urge to take out my old tutorials. This problem is nowhere near unique to this company or industry.
