What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

Largely remote, flexible with timings, don't mind you taking time off, allowed time for learning, lots of people you can talk to for support, a lot of people are a good laugh, nice office in a countryside location, and some work equipment is provided.

Worst

Not much work, mostly left to my own devices (virtually no on-the-job training), too many meetings that are a waste of time, unclear what certain people are doing with their time (they don't seem to have much work/do work very slowly), lack of technical expertise compared to some other companies, resistant to change/risk averse, slow projects, politics between teams, lots of admin related tasks, and poor taught course selection (the master's apprenticeship and mandatory training).

Do you have any interview tips?

I had to do a pre-recorded interview, a presentation, observed small talk with someone on the graduate scheme, and a face-to-face interview with Q&A. Research the company, prepare answers for common interview questions, put effort into the presentation, and practice talking to someone you've never talked to before.
