What would your first steps be when taking a position with a new company? List your top 5 priorities.

- Get yo know my team members and introduce myself o them

- Get to know my suppliers and my customers

- Get to know my management and thier goals

- Ge to know my tasks and thier current status

- Get to know my performance measurement criteria

 - introduce yourself to your colleagues

- get to know the people you work with and build a good basis for working together

- get to know processes & mindset in the company

- get to know people in supporting fields (IT, HR, admin, facility management)

- set up your workplace in a manner that allows you to work efficiently as soon as possible

Here are my priorities i would look at, when taking up a new position -

Does the new job offer me knowledge on a new domain, some new challenges, ability to meet and interact with people (maybe geographically diverse).

Does the new position lead to good enough higher opportunities, is there possibility to grow further. (maybe in the same / different organization though)

How has been the company doing since it's inception. In case there was a crisis, was the company still able to sail through? (this will show that the company had/has good leaders)

How has been the attrition in the company. Search for some reviews from the ex-employees to know how they get treated. 

Last and most important - What & How is it that i will contribute to the position and company i join, in the most professional & ethical way i could... 

Best Regards, Ananth
