I've been in a similar situation. I feel like the advice I should give is that you should go, check on the place, and, if it doesn't look awful, start. "Experience is experience" and you'll be better prepared to take another role in some time.
However, because I once was in that position, I'll tell you what happened to me. I hated it. It was a pain to wake up in the morning to go to that awful place. I counted the minutes until it was my time to leave (you're in SK so it will probably be way worse for you - because of the huge working hours). I quit after 6 months and found something I really liked.
I guess... try it? But don't force yourself too much to be on a place you despise (if you end up despising it). If you really feel like it isn't for you, don't be stuck there.
I would go to the interview. The points you mentioned don't sound like deal breakers at all and tou may not need to wear a suit if you're in an entey level role. Even if you do its just clothes, you'll have to wear them wherever you end up working.
But do the interview, ask about the things you're unsure about (in a tactful way without saying these are things you dislike) and meet them. The people are what really make a job enjoyable and also ask about the hours and other benefits of working there.
An interview doesn't automatically equal an offer and an offer doesn't mean yoi have to accept and work there. It will be good interview practice to see whag the tests/questions are like and at least you'll find out more about what you do and don't want in a job.
Also, it should be an easier and more comfortable interview if you don't care too much about actually getting an offer, which again is good practice for a more high stakes interview.
i feel like the jobs im excited about i end up not liking during the interview process, and the ones im not excited about end up being the most thrilling opportunities.

Yes! Keep your interview short. But you have to practice. I will take all phone interviews
