In the initial 6 months as a Graduate Software Engineer, you can expect to undergo a structured onboarding process. Firstly, training and orientation will help you get familiarised with the company’s development environment, coding standards, and tools. A part of this is receiving mentorship from experienced engineers which will aid in navigating projects and provide insights into company culture. As you become acclimatised to the company’s operations and your role within them, you will contribute to real-world projects under the supervision of senior team members, gradually taking on more responsibilities. Along the way, you will receive constructive criticism on your work, enabling continuous improvement and skill development. Throughout this process, you will engage in regular team meetings, brainstorming sessions, and collaborative efforts to understand the broader context of ongoing projects. You'll have the opportunity to apply your academic knowledge to practical scenarios, refine your coding skills, and establish a foundation for a successful career as a Software Engineer.
