I usually don't want to pipe up too much, in case nonsense comes out of my mouth, as it tends to happen when I am nervous. However, the odd thing that has happened is that I started feeling a heck of a lot more confident as time went by, something which took a long,long,long time in my previous job. There's a refreshing lack of ego from everyone so far and my opinion is actively sought after, which is great. Even though it's a very traditional sort of organisation, in terms of development processes, they are very open-minded and will try new things if the justification is there.
Of course, the shine may eventually wear off and I might sing a different tune, but for the time being, all is good.
