Onboarding Challenges for Developers

Onboarding new engineers can be a significantly time-consuming process, with estimates suggesting that it takes up to three weeks for an engineer to start contributing effectively. During this time, developers often waste approximately 56% of their productive hours dealing with issues related to the development environment. Streamlining this onboarding experience is essential for improving developer productivity and satisfaction. By implementing more efficient management systems, companies can minimize these delays and ensure that engineers can focus on coding rather than setup.
