Reviews
Microservices - that is software backend development, involved in a large variety of applications over the company and needs to work with people from different areas. Interesting but challenging.
I am a Data Analytics Engineer so my role is to ingest and clean data sets to end users, modelling data in a way that empowers end users to answer their own questions. My day-to-day responsibilities are to attend standups and update my squad on what work was done the previous day and what I intend to tackle, as well as spend time working on my user stories and tasks, which often entails ensuring data gets from A to B via the best route and is in an accurate state. I also spend time upskilling and getting mentored from colleagues in the data space.
As a software developer, my daily tasks primarily involve writing and testing code. I also participate in discussions about how to address business problems and requirements through software solutions. Additionally, I spend time in squad meetings with cross-functional team members to review our progress and plan future steps.

Pros and cons of working at Air New Zealand
Pros
The work is also super interesting and you can make a real and measurable impact.
So much to learn and so many opportunities to grow as a graduate. The culture at Air New Zealand is also amazing and you can tell people genuinely care and are proud of the work they do.
Very cheap travel with staff travel perks. Can nominate one other person to receive the same perks. After one year, some perks extend to other airlines.
Excellent induction and support provided to the graduates in Digital.
Relatively flexible about when you get your hours in; some people start early and leave early, others stay late.
Cons
The projects we work on can be significantly affected by broader business decisions.
The location can be a bit difficult to get to with a lack of parking (for CBD office).
There are lots of layers to ways of working and lots of acronyms and specific terminology to learn.
There is the expectation to come into work three days a week.
Longer time needed to get a comprehensive view of the majority of the business areas.
