I changed jobs last summer, leaving the workers’ compensation industry for Big Tech. I love my new company and it’s hard to find anything negative to say about it. It’s huge — there are 62,000 employees globally — and the onboarding process is no joke. In addition to the normal computer-based training that centers on compliance, security and other “CYA” topics, there’s a ton of information thrown at you about the company’s culture, which is omnipresent in everything you do in the organization. And while you don’t have to remember where to go for everything you need (e.g., changing 401k contributions, ordering a new mouse) you do have to know how and where to find answers, so a significant amount of time is spent on this as well. It’s truly the most robust and successful onboarding I’ve ever seen.
