Maybe I'm just a grump, but: 5% is pretty low number for training people up. Perhaps that's just the "hit the books on your own, but during work time" portion?

Maybe I'm just a grump, but: 5% is pretty low number for training people up. Perhaps that's just the "hit the books on your own, but during work time" portion? If it includes other things (talking people though a project that's on the edge of their capabilities, discussing the architecture of important project from an educational perspective, ...) then it seems pretty low. EDIT: non-phone spelling

It is, I believe from talking to others and my own experience, significantly higher than the average (outside the mystical FAANG etc). The average is basically zero. Talking people through things at the edge of their capabilities and discussing the architecture etc that they need to know; that's just doing the actual job, surely.

5% is pretty low to basically nothing. I agree.

  It's very low and, from my own experience, significantly higher than average. My experiences are almost entirely UK based, outside big name or hip companies.

    True. Usually training is 0%.

5% = 2 hours out of the entire week It's basically 4 conversations and that's it.
