Do you have 1:1 check-ins with your team? If so, do you follow a certain format?

Yes, I do. I try to keep them regular although the frequency has dropped to around every 6 weeks for most people as we've grown our team (27 now).

We now have a few mentors throughout the team - tech leads and lead engineers - who hold more frequent 1:1s with their team. I now focus almost exclusively on career development, personal growth and making sure people are challenged by the work they're doing.
