There’s a huge spectrum of “training”. At least you know you have an expected tech stack. Go learn it and ask questions if things are confusing. Don’t wait to get “trained”.
- crispyalmond 5y agoIt helped that I was already semi-familiar with it, but the other engineer and team lead quit shortly after I joined, and I was left by myself to complete the tasks. It was brutal, and I'm looking for a different job to get away from this workplace for this reason.
- progman32 5y agoWas anyone managing your task list or checking in at all? Did you have a manager?
- crispyalmond 5y agoWe did and currently do have a manager type person. They are not code-savvy though, which is sometimes frustrating. We just recently hired another intern, a regular developer and a lead, so it's slightly less painful now, and I am still the one working on the primary applications. The others are working on separate things. Before the hiring, it was me and another developer, but he doesn't develop the main applications. The task list at that time was infrequently used, but it's become daily routine now.
