I've had the opposite problem with juniors in the past -- rush to solve tickets and get them committed, but the work done is awful. I honestly preferred the lazy juniors on the team. At least they were doing poor work but there was less of it to code review and fix. I used to be on the pro junior side of things... but when you're on the earlier side of a startup (series a/b), juniors are a huge liability. Best "junior" hire I made was recruiting someone in support who I thought was smart and conscientious. Turned him on to programming, mentored him, and now he's great. I have no idea what the lesson from this has been. hiring is hard.
