What does the learning culture look like at your company or on your engineering team?

It’s pretty solid. People are open to sharing knowledge, whether through documentation, code reviews or just quick Slack threads. There’s a good mix of senior engineers mentoring newer folks, but also the reverse — newer team members bringing fresh ideas and tools to the table. I’ve definitely picked up things I wouldn’t have considered just by keeping an open mind to what they bring in.

We also don’t have a “just figure it out on your own” culture — if someone’s stuck, there’s always someone willing to jump in and help. That makes learning feel natural instead of a separate “thing you have to make time for.” It just happens as part of the work.
