How We Onboard Our Remote Engineering and Product Management Team

We used to onboard our new team members the same way as other organizations. We made sure they got their laptop, set up their email, had badge access, talked about benefits, etc. That took about half a day, and the rest was meeting with their team, then they were on their own.

Now, we dedicate nearly a full week for onboarding, where every single hour of the day is scheduled and planned towards training. Instead of throwing our team right into work, we invest in their training. The result of this effort was honestly unbelievable.
