This is indeed a big challenge for seniors hires. They are expected to understand the domain, product, and business context to create impact in little time. I experienced this myself twice, failed miserably once and just about hung on second time. I've also seen quite a few senior ICs being let go within 4-6 months because they just couldn't get their head around the mess. The obvious response of "document everything" hasn't been useful where I worked. Either company didn't embrace them or they got out of date in short time. I just don't know how to tackle it beyond putting in hard grunt work to understand the system. |

My team are simply replacing large chunks of infrastructure with properly built & documented infrastructure as code. If anyone has a problem, we're asking for a bake-off between this (sensible stuff) and that (wherever-the-hell mess you've got there).
