- How long after joining does it take to find out who your line manager is?

- How long does it take to stick a debugger into a particular place in the codebase and run a single automated test to trigger it?

- How long does it take to get a diagram of the schema (or implicit schema) of the relationships among data entities in their main applications?

- How long does it take to find out who the business stakeholders are for my team or projects?

- How long does it take to find out what the goals are for the engineering and product team are overall?

- Can the product manager explain the relationship between technical debt and engineering velocity?

Is it weird that I find myself utterly distressed that these can be so uncertain?

It's certainly depressing.

Are you having a hard time finding this?

I once joined a company where I didn't know where my line manager was.

My current company uses MongoDB and I _really_ wish there was a schema I could read.
