L5 Noogler virtual onboarding

How long is onboarding for L5 SWE?
Do you only hang out with other Nooglers for X amount of time like at FB or do you quickly start doing actual work with your team?

Need to determine how long I can coast. Did nothing but happy hours for 12 weeks at FB bootcamp. Best time of my life.

    First week, onboarding stuff like setting up your benefits etc

    After that, there is tech orientation with other Nooglers for 3 weeks. (Doing small project with a group of Nooglers while you learn different Google technologies). At the same time, you attend different tutorials

    after that you join your team. so 4 weeks after your start date, you will be with your team

    First week is set up access/tools/pay/workday, and maybe chat with team mates. Then you have three weeks for tech stack training, GTI.

      Team specific tech stack? Do you start working with the team during those 3 weeks?

      Generic tech stack, shared across G. It’s a pretty dense schedule, so most people don’t start working with team until GTI finishes. But you can definitely talk with your manager/mentor about potential projects if you want.

    Starting as pm soon. My boss said it's going to feel weird not doing anything impactful for A few months, but to enjoy it.

      That's kinda nice. I'd imagine it'll ramp up faster as SWE though. I still don't get why a manager ever picks external hires over internal given this ramp up time.

      Probably not enough internal transfers to go around.
