  As a result, it has been the company\u2019s practice to hire recent college graduates (approximately 100 per year) and these new employees are paired with experienced employees for training on the company\u2019s systems and processes and to help them get started with their own projects. The experienced employees must lead technical workshops and give one-on-one advice, acting as mentors over a 1\u20132-year period. This means that the experienced employees must put aside their own project work while they do this training, causing frustration and dissatisfaction with the job, and many experienced employees leave for work elsewhere.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
