It varies on country. In my home country it was mostly effective you get all in one day an massive intros but all of them were IT companies or more precisely outsourcing software companies in term that they worked on things outsourced by others. In Sweden so far 3 companies had really bad intro process were you have to mainly activate yourself and seek how to start. 1st is my current company and other 2 are clients which I worked for. Really slow process without people considering how new you are to the company. Both clients are non IT. Anyways best way is to really dig deep through whatever you got and ask questions after there's really no place to look for anymore. And biggest one have a lot of patience and don't assume stuff. Try first to connect with people outside of tech like how long they are in the company, hobbies, do they have a partner, kids...
