I had this exact issue straight from college into MS. My team was built off a ton of legacy and getting ramped up on all the engineering systems and testing made it take about a month before I could even make a check in. Velocity is very low at the start in my case. I was there to support new engineers who were completely disoriented in the same way. I was able to start working effectively after a few months and my anxiety was coming in an out as i was getting exposed to new engineering systems that required brand new ramp up. On my team I was sensitive to new people getting lost and received lots of favor on my team as we grew.

Don't let it get to weeks where you are not accomplishing anything. Escalate your issues sooner than later, get to know the right engineers so you aren't moving to any individual too many times. Sometimes there are just hard roadblocks and you don't want to get in a position where its been 2 months and you are stuck on something without showing that you have been actively trying to get over it.

If things are really bad, you may consider moving internally to reset your reputation and maybe land on a team where things don't require so much ramp up in order to contribute.
