What are the Best and Worst things about your job?
Best
Hybrid working. I've enjoyed being able to work from home, I value going to the gym before work and being able to have proper cooked meals. But also I appreciate and enjoy the purpose-led in-person workshops we have as a team every couple of weeks.
Variety. Day-to-day my role varies, I may pick up some low-development work for the team, analyse the way we work and pitch new ways of doing processes or work with different stakeholders to build a solution within the IT tool we own. I enjoy being able to deliver both 'small-wins' and larger projects, it gives me a sense of accomplishment and keeps my brain ticking!
Worst
I think teams and managers needed better facilitation and training before we joined as graduates - or even made to have a job specification ready with expectations on. Having a clearer plan as to what our roles should entail would have been beneficial. As a grad in a large company, I needed some direction so I could build my confidence. I didn't feel I got this until I had been at the company for over a year.
