I'd actually prepared a one-pager before the onsite without being asked, so when this came up as the very first question I just slid it across the table.
Structure your answer around three phases: learn, contribute, and lead. Show how you'll ramp up on AT&T's tech stack and business context, deliver early wins, and then drive longer-term improvements. Emphasize collaboration with cross-functional teams and alignment with business goals.
Pro tip: Tie your 90-day plan to AT&T's specific initiatives (e.g., 5G, cloud migration, AIOps) and mention how you'll measure success. This shows you've done your homework and think like an owner.
Focus on understanding the team's codebase, tools, processes, and key stakeholders. Meet with colleagues, read documentation, and ask questions to grasp the product and business context.
Start taking on small tasks or bugs to build credibility and learn the workflow. Aim to complete at least one meaningful deliverable, such as a feature or fix, while continuing to learn.
Take ownership of a larger project or area, and suggest improvements to processes or code. Begin to lead initiatives, mentor others, and align your work with strategic goals.
Define metrics for success (e.g., code quality, delivery speed, stakeholder feedback) and regularly review progress. Be ready to adapt your plan based on feedback and changing priorities.
