What it actually looks like.
On the careers page we walked through the four stages of our onboarding program. Here's what it looks like up close — what your first day feels like, what you'll have by the time you finish, and the platform you'll learn on every day.
Your first day isn't a stack of paperwork.
A walkthrough of what actually happens — written so you know exactly what to expect before you accept the offer.
You walk in at the agreed time. Your supervising BCBA is the first person to meet you — not HR, not a checklist. They give you a tour, introduce you to the team you'll be working with most, and spend the first hour or two talking through how we practice and what your first weeks will look like.
Before lunch, you sit in on a real session. Observation only. Your supervisor stays beside you, narrates what they're watching, and answers questions in real time. You won't be alone with a learner on day one — or day five. We'll tell you when you're ready.
By the end of the day, your account on the onboarding portal is set up, you've met everyone you'll be seeing regularly, and you know exactly what tomorrow looks like.
Where you'll be at each step.
Same four stages as the careers page, looked at from the other side — what you'll have built by the end of each one, not what we put in front of you.
