When I started my first job out of university I worked in a team where we were tasked with fixing various issues and requests (e.g. reports or minor features) from the business, so that teams working on features could focus on those. Even senior developers would be rotated around into this team, but as a junior develop it was where you first started, to learn the ropes.
It was a great experience, as other members of the team, who were more senior than you, may not have even understood how the application you were looking at worked (we had ~40 applications/services), so you would have to work together to figure it out - both completely clueless. Usually we would pair because of the unfamiliarity, but if we were familiar with the application we would occasionally work solo, even as a junior.
The best bit was the management: there was enough pressure that you knew you had to get this fixed soon, but not so much that you were stressing out.
