#onboarding

Any other new hires struggling to acclimate? Can anyone share thoughts on what it’s like coming in as an external hire?

As a new employee about to start on Monday, how secure is the Richmond office? Can anyone just get on the campus, or is there security at the entrance where you need to show your badge to enter? I don’t want to walk out to the parking lot and see that my car was broken in to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How many new team members you welcomed into the team today?

A new guy joined my team. I guess we will be invited to one of local indian restaurants soon for a welcome lunch.

I’ll be starting in August in the payments organization at the McLean office, relocating from Atlanta, Ga.

Very nervous.
Any insight into what the first 3-4 weeks will be like?

Im a new manager and have had no support since my onboarding. No training and no substantial time with my manager. With the exit of IFP, a chunk of my teams workload is gone.

I have no work during my day and thats not an exaggeration. I ask regularly for work and never receive any.

Has anyone experienced this? Is this a good indicator that job eliminations are on the way?

I came from a very tough regional bank, but being at BNY right now is way harder than that ever was. The team is extremely unorganized, there is no proper development process, and there was absolutely zero onboarding training. The culture is mostly toxic, my manager seems mentally unstable, and people are constantly backstabbing each other. It is an absolutely horrendous experience.

Wow, I was surprised not to find any public forums regarding state farm employees to chit chat, but I wanted to post here and say my whole onboarding group going into 2019 from various sections in the company are no longer employed with state farm. I ignited an old group chat out of curiosity. 17 in total and the last person to leave was in early 2025. Most people were let go or left around 2022-23

I found this metric interesting and worth putting out there. We all got sold on how it was a life long career and investment into your education for financial and personal growth.

Didn't get much detail but it seems the majority were right to worked for various little reasons primarily with the legacy benefits package. (Pension)

My partner literally just started at Citi as part of the wealth division within the past few weeks. As they were getting their badges and other new hire stuff, others were turning in theirs due to being laid off. Not the most re-assuring for people you just hired lmao.

On Friday, Cigna Evernorth let go of contractors associated with Endava.

How is next PRO WAND UNLIMITED, CGI or Cognizant?

It looks like they may be onboarding nearshore contractors through Brillio.

Hi everyone,

My pre-employment portal shows completed, and I have a start date coming up. For recent hires, how long did it take to get final confirmation or an “all clear” from recruiting/onboarding?

trouble registering during onboarding, slow ticket remediation time, currently no health insurance and no work around........y even work

Training sessions are short and packed with information. There’s not enough time to actually absorb anything properly. Afterward, you’re expected to perform like you fully understand everything. Who thought this was a good idea?

My first week was just me sitting around trying to piece things together on my own. No training, no point of contact, just outdated documents that don't match anything we actually do. People keep assuming I know systems I've never even seen. It set such a bad tone right from the start.

Why are all the Reddit posts on the r/Waterloo page? We need our own page. Would have been eye opening to read through prior to signing my contract. But now I get to sleuth this website and random others for any insights. Huge loss and su-ks for anyone considering this place to not have a consolidated resource to read through

Just got an Email to Onboard a Person in India - New Offshore Team. How much time do I have ? I've been here 6.5 Years.

Two people who were supposed to join our team had their start dates pushed back indefinitely. Everyone knows what that means, even if HR uses soft language. It is a bad sign when even onboarding becomes uncertain.

And I regret it, i can see it's a dumpster fire already. Will it improve ?

Post Enterprise Reimagined, I am struggling in my new role. I had no onboarding, just a whole lot of department meetings with no context. My new leader has no experience in this work and spent their entire career in a different discipline. My partner in the work also has no experience in this discipline. We were thrown headlong into a project with no guidance other than, “You are smart. Figure it out.” A month later, my work was just doubled because we are short handed on our team because of layoffs. I am scared and sick and stressed out. And my leader has made it clear they don’t care. I am frustrated and angry. Anyone else dealing with this scenario? How do I handle it?

Welcome to the team! Can't stress the importance of intellectual curiosity is a must. It is important to know when to pass and when to catch. We can only hold your hand for so long..Good luck!

I joined the company and have loved every moment so far. Thanks to my new team for being wonderfully great.

I do sit next to a negative nanny who should be fired though. She sounds as nasty and made as most of you. Can you angry birds go dive into the ocean and stay?
