I've never had a positive onboarding experience when starting a new job, not from a tech / code base / product perspective at least. That spans 20 years and about 15 companies. I'm currently going through one of the worst I've ever experienced, after starting a new contract 4 weeks ago. I once had a fairly positive onboarding experience when being assigned to a new project with a new team at one company I'd been with for a few months. That was positive because there was a priority user story assigned to another dev on the team that spanned a two week period pretty much titled "Get Darren up to speed and answer any questions he has." It worked.
