How I handle juniors and beginners:

It is ok to stay longer

It is ok to stay longer especially as a beginner. You are in a learning phase. But still need to do your stuff.

It is also ok to screw up or ask questions.

Never ever go every week over 50 hours. I have a junior right now which works longer because he sees us working long hours. I will tell him soon to suck it up and go home on time.

To be honest (not always fair), if someone is working too many extra hours "to learn how it works", then that says something about the capacity and capability of the person.

Or the support/documentation/culture of the 'team' or organisation...

I work in consulting and in that it is about api platforms.

There is no documentation. Everything is new and unique :)

Also true.
