In big teams, it’s very important to assign dedicated person to the newcomer. You may call it mentor or whatever else, but there must be someone responsible for newcomer’s questions and his/her guidance. I saw numerous times how newcomers get lost between people when nobody cares about his/her progress and experience. It is not a tragedy, though, all those newcomers did not quit the job. But! They would achieve more if they were “assigned” to someone and vice versa
