Known as "MOLTing," this process pairs new hires with a "Roachmate" or onboarding buddy who helps them acclimate to the company's culture and operations. This approach not only aids new employees in transitioning but also provides existing staff with opportunities to develop mentorship skills. The onboarding includes comprehensive sessions on company values, tools, and specific departmental functions, ensuring newcomers understand CockroachDB and its place in the industry. Feedback is consistently gathered to refine the onboarding experience, aligning with the company's commitment to fostering an impactful and seamless integration for all new employees.
