I'm currently working as a contractor for a massive corporation. Although as a contractor you're expected to be fully up and running within days, it still took me a good 3 weeks to get confortable with the project I was assigned on.
Since the codebase was quite old, too many decisions were undocumented or even forgotten; the people who took them having left the company or not remembering why they took them anymore.
Even now, after about 4 months, I still can't feel fully confortable with our project because there's too many forgotten decisions.
