Threw me in and called it "learning on the job"
Pros
The people were not hostile, but the environment was not set up to properly support anyone new.
Cons
• I received absolutely no onboarding during my first week, not even the most basic introduction. • No one sat down with me, there was no documentation, and no explanation of how anything was supposed to work. • I was given a desk and a computer that barely functioned and left completely on my own. • I spent the next two months struggling just to understand basic workflows that should have been clearly documented or at least explained once. • People were polite enough when I had to repeatedly ask questions, but the expectation that I would somehow learn everything through guesswork was completely unreasonable. • By the third month I had wasted enormous amounts of time reinventing processes and working inefficiently because no one provided proper training.
