We can’t wait to spend your first week together in our office! You’ll meet your dedicated Buddy - Marta Baranowska, get to know the whole team, and have a chance to connect with your Leader - Michał Korzeniowski.

Your adventure starts with receiving your welcome pack - everything you need to feel ready and comfortable at work. During the week, we’ll take care of all formalities, guide you through essential trainings (tools, health & safety), and introduce you to our company culture and how we work together.

Of course, there will be plenty of time to relax and connect - enjoy coffee, tea, and lunch on us with your new teammates.

Onboarding for one month

By this stage, you’ll have a clear understanding of your responsibilities and will be actively contributing during team meetings. You’ll also take part in regular 1:1 sessions with your Leader, where you can discuss progress, ideas, and any support you might need.

After your first month, we’ll expect you to work more independently - confidently reporting any detected errors or bugs and understanding the core functionality of your project.

You’ll wrap up this stage with another feedback meeting hosted by Natalia Pesta, our People Partner, to celebrate your progress and plan the next steps in your journey with us.

Onboarding for three months

Two months in, you’ll sit down with your Leader for a friendly conversation about how things are going - how you’re settling in, what’s working well, and where we can support you even more. We can’t wait to hear your feedback and reflections!

By the end of your onboarding journey, you’ll be fully immersed in your project, confident in your responsibilities, and - of course - you’ll have mastered all the names of your teammates (we promise, it gets easier 😉).
