In the US you are always on a trial period. The problem is that firing people is annoying and bad for team morale. More importantly even dealing with a bad coworker is really bad for team morale. No one wants to join a company that is likely to fire them in 3 months because the company f-ed up their own hiring process. No one wants to recommend their connections join a company where that is likely to happen. Made worse due to a lot of compensation is tied to staying a year at a company so leaving early is basically getting paid 50% for that time.
