Tool Access
During onboarding, employees will be granted access to the core tools used across the organization. These typically include Azure DevOps (for boards and task tracking), GitHub for code repositories and version control, company email for communication, Slack for internal collaboration, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for infrastructure and cloud services.
Additional tools or permissions may be provided depending on your role. If you require access beyond the standard set of tools, please reach out to your manager.
