What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

Working with really experienced, excellent people that naturally means you are pushed forward in your own development.
Get to try out brand new technologies and tech stacks that just arn't really touched on that much at University.
Opportunity to give back to University and help others that come after you have the same opportunities you did (Career fairs, Set projects for university students, mentoring etc).

Worst

Limitations imposed by clients can not only be incredibly frustrating and limit how productive you can be, but are also incredibly unlikely to be solved, since those managing the account from BJSS's side have so little room to manoeuvre/bring about change without upsetting the client.

Current lack of clients means unfortunately new graduates being hired are taking longer and longer to be placed onto projects- this leaves these hires feeling like they've done something "wrong", or that they are unproductive.
