Our onboarding is designed to help you get settled into your new role and immerse yourself in our culture. It consists of four key stages:
#01 | Admission Process
This begins once you accept our offer and concludes once you submit the required documents.
#02 | Pre-Onboarding
Starting from when we send you introductory content and emails, this stage prepares you for your first day. It concludes with a welcome meeting with the People Team.

During your first three days, you’ll focus on completing some tasks and certifications. These materials will help you understand our tools, processes, and culture.
