A lot of the big tech companies actually have processes around mentorship. It's one of the reasons I think working at a big tech company can be more valuable than at a small startup, especially early on in one's career.
I don't mean to suggest all startups forgo mentorship, but often, smaller startups simply don't have processes in place for most things, including mentorship. And of course, what you get mentored on depends on the company too: at a big company, the focus may be on growing your career, whereas the mentorship at a smaller company may be about navigating an uncertain product roadmap.
Unfortunately, getting into a big tech company (especially when not doing so right out of a well-known college) requires a lot of luck, so getting access to this mentorship isn't exactly easy...
