Alright, it’s your first day at Layer, how exciting! ****Yes, we know it's early, but we want you do be ahead of your first day.
Usually, that’ll be a Monday and if it's the right week, we will all start off with a team breakfast to give you a warm welcome to the team 🙂
Otherwise, your team and other free joiners will welcome you to our kitchen area to have a coffee or some of our free breakfast options together.
Your team lead will show you around in the office and tell you everything you need to know. You will discuss how your first day will look like.
Most likely Florian will show you where you’ll sit and stand, so get comfortable! (Yes everyone has a standing desk which is free adjustable in height with a press of a button!)
Open your Welcome Package 😇 Check out what your team has put together for you. We hope you like it!
🔑 Your office keys are included as well. Please sign the confirmation and hand it over to the People team.
Your laptop is empty, so you’ll spend some time setting it up. Make sure to encrypt your hard drive and to pick a strong password for your account. We don’t have or want admin access to your computer and we never install any spy or admin tools. Your computer is yours and you’re the only person with access.
<aside> 💡 Check the Welcome Letter or private email for your Google login credentials in case you haven't logged it yet. Make sure to use a secure password! 🕵🏽

Your inbox will be full of emails with instructions and invitations to many of our services … shared calendars, Slack, OpenTeam, Notion, GitHub, Figma etc. Take your time to set those up and when in doubt: check our Onboarding Notion space or ask your colleagues.
In case your need any additional software, just talk to your team lead (best before joining). We will pay if it makes sense and is not an SAP ERP license 😂
