What's the most memorable onboarding process you've experienced?


This could be a good or bad experience.

For me, it was my second internship. The main thing I remember is the stress of not being able to do any work while I waited for access to some of our systems. Feeling imposter syndrome as an intern is a given, but it's only made worse when you can't even start doing your job, let alone deliver anything of significance.

I got forgotten until a day later for a remote job.

Was supposed to start on Monday. Was told that Monday morning, I would get my passwords and everything to log in and get set up. At 10AM, I emailed my contact there as I knew nobody else (one of those companies where interviewing isn't always done by the same team). He didn't get back to me until Tuesday. Spent the day wondering if I had been ghosted and pondering whether to tell the other companies I turned down that the job fell through.

I'm going to guess induction at military boot camp. It's designed to be a significant emotional event. Any marines want to chime in?
