Treat Your Onboarding Process Like Your Build System
Whether you have one, ten, or a hundred engineers, a scalable onboarding process is a very high leverage activity with immediate results and has great return on investment over time.
I’ve led the engineering teams at many startups including Medium, ClassPass, and Chartboost, and one of the first scalable systems I’ve put in place every time has been a repeatable process for engineering onboarding.
It’s worked every time.
