Context: The internalization of new members in software development teams causes changes in organizations and needs to be studied. Objective: To investigate the benefits and limitations of internalization in software development teams. Method: A qualitative study was carried out at a startup where internalization was observed recently. The data were analyzed using qualitative coding techniques and the results were verified and validated with the participants through the verification of members. Results: it is clear that internalization is strongly influenced by the culture of the company studied and the reception and integration of time. Conclusion: The internalization of new members generates greater synergy, which strongly helps without objective of the organizational results.
