They do but they're extremely rare. Before I started for myself I spent a lot of time mentoring my team. Most if it was building their confidence up so they could think critically themselves whilst reading the right books.

I myself have never had a technical mentor. Never needed one. What I did need and have were mentors for the other 90% of being a successful professional (and people who built my self confidence up).

I think this is because "mentorship" is very hard to plan at the company level. My best mentors have been specific senior devs who were willing to share what they knew.
