Thanks for sharing, I really like the practical approach and being able to get into projects right away with the support needed in the early days.

We gave a recent new joiner a small project that mimics some of the stuff we do in real life, so that they can get a feel of things. Then we gave them some tasks that relate to the small project, so that they don't get overloaded. Again, this depends on the seniority of the new joiner.

I especially like this idea. Being able to feel like you're working on a real project with the safety net in place is really beneficial for brand new starters.
