Pros
The entire onboarding experience is smooth, thorough, detailed, tailed to each position and very welcoming! After receiving an offer, HR sends over an email with all the details and directions you need prior to your first day. Then upon arriving, you are taken to your desk that has PlaceIQ swag, a computer that is already setup and running as well as an onboarding packet with all kinds of helpful information. Within the first 4 hours, you have a tour of the incredible office, a welcome lunch with your team, and your benefits and payroll are all setup. Then, the next two weeks are dedicated to company and team training. You get to sit with the heads of each department to gain a better understand of what PlaceIQ does and how each team makes a meaningful impact. I have worked for huge corporate companies, and I have never had a more organized onboarding experience.
Cons
Some of the smaller and newer teams have less of a formal training process, but that is part of the excitement when joining a startup. You get to help create the policies and procedures of that new team.
