How to Thrive in a Tech Company | 2023

A GitKraken People Operations Manager advises early-career software developers to approach a new role as an extended learning process, noting that onboarding can range from self-guided to highly structured depending on a company’s size and maturity, while GitKraken uses a four- to six-week program covering company context, product knowledge, and technical details. New hires are encouraged to ask questions repeatedly when needed, build relationships with both immediate teammates and cross-functional partners, tailor introductions to their audience, and direct practical questions to the appropriate people. After onboarding, expectations shift toward more independent learning and proactive resource-seeking. Remote developers can maintain connection through collaboration tools, video or phone conversations, and informal personal sharing, while finding flexible workspaces and routines that support both productivity and team responsibilities. To prevent burnout, developers should schedule regular breaks and downtime, potentially using calendar tools, and should review company policies or ask about possible home-office stipends. The advice emphasizes remaining adaptable because organizational practices, benefits, and individual work needs can change over time.
