Best thing I had, was a list of (optional) things to tick off within the first week or so. This involved:

  • Contributing to some of the internal projects
  • Writing a bit about yourself on slack
  • Buying snacks for the office and putting it on expenses
  • Attend one of the office paid for evenings out
  • Buying a course on Udemy/similar and putting it on expenses
  • Get a picture wearing the company t-shirt somewhere different
  • Suggest a topic for our monthly dev discussion forum

It all made you feel part of the community in the office, which is important as most people are on different projects from those around them.

Those are such great ideas, I'm especially keen on expensing snacks and learning. Such a good combo :)
