The first weeks are for finding your footing. Ask questions early and often; nobody expects you to know how everything works on day one. Your manager, your buddy and the wider team are here to make the ramp shorter.

You're joining DEWALT and the wider Stanley Black & Decker family — 22 brands that share one framework, one set of standards and one set of opportunities.
