At Sourcetoad we try to have all hardware and software setup, installed, and running. Nothing says 'we dont know what we are doing' like spending weeks trying to get setup (like some places Ive been). Day one the new engineer is assigned a mentor; that mentor is repressible for ensuring the new hire gets settled in properly. For the first two weeks the mentor is the go-to person for the new hire for anything.
Myself, I try to have the hire push something, no matter how small to at least the projects UAT environment. Maybe even production. The sooner they are invested, the sooner they feel included.
We also have the standard documentation resources available from the get go. Information is power.
