The short answer
Integração can mean onboarding or integration into a team. Ask what a new person normally learns first and who supports the transition. Companies organize onboarding in different ways, so let the interviewer describe the actual process.
Ask about the first weeks and onboarding
Questions about the first days can also reveal which tools, people, or routines matter most in the position.
Como costuma ser a integração de uma pessoa nova na equipe?
What is onboarding usually like for a new person on the team?
Quais ferramentas eu precisaria aprender primeiro?
Which tools would I need to learn first?
Find out which outcomes matter early
Use prioridades iniciais (early priorities) and expectativas para os primeiros meses (expectations for the first few months). Ask what a successful start would look like rather than assuming a fixed 30-, 60-, or 90-day framework.
A concrete question helps the interviewer explain real goals, current projects, or the team's most important needs.
Quais seriam as prioridades para os primeiros três meses?
What would the priorities be for the first three months?
Como vocês avaliam se uma pessoa está tendo um bom começo?
How do you assess whether someone is getting off to a good start?
Ask how feedback and support work
Ask com que frequência a equipe conversa sobre progresso (how often the team discusses progress). You can also ask who will be your main point of contact when you have a question.
These questions help you understand how to get support and how expectations are communicated, without implying that a particular review schedule is guaranteed.
Com que frequência eu receberia feedback nos primeiros meses?
How often would I receive feedback in the first few months?
Quem seria minha principal pessoa de contato no início?
Who would be my main point of contact at the beginning?
