You want to come across as having a can-do attitude. Not every task you perform should be rewarding or fun. Focus on the positive impact you made, regardless of whether the work you performed was according to your preference or not. Demonstrate positivity and the collaborative impact you had. Keep your answer focused on you and what you loved about your last job. Be honest about what you liked least but stay focused on the positives. For example, saying that the leadership was toxic will show that you might have issues with people in positions of authority. However, saying that attendance wasn't enforced and you were the only employee who prided yourself on showing up early for work made the higher standard you hold yourself to feel as if it was unappreciated is a different matter.

"Attendance issues were rampant at my last job. Everyone, including management, showed up whenever they wanted. I always show up to work early. There was a group project I was working on, but since the rest of the team showed up late and took their time to get started on the work, I did more than my part. But eventually, I addressed this with management. They listened to my complaint and folded their arms and smiled and nodded. 'I get it,' they said to me. They said, 'You're always here early waiting for me to unlock the building and let you in, so I'll tell you what, I'll give you the key to the building so you can set up the morning before everyone arrives. That way you're not standing out in the cold waiting on us.' Well, in this situation I found a lot of the group work I was performing in this environment was not very rewarding. I was putting my all in, and the rest of the team came and went at their leisure, and in the end, received their equal share for 'the team's' accomplishments--for which I did most of the work. When things went that way, which they did for a while, I found the work in those days to be the least rewarding."
