how much information is thrown at us up front, as I clearly didn't absorb it all. Something to think about is how to get people to absorb more, or how to better schedule/layer the intros, or somehow refresh us later with it again.
I started to think of the group I sat in those intro meetings with as my cohort. We all started together, and it might be nice if groups of new people could connect and stay connected somehow. I think it would have been nice to lean on other new people and talk if we were having similar problems, learning curves, questions, etc.
Can we better utilize Tuesday lunches? Interest in chatting with other members of other teams in a dedicated sense - easy to forget to grab coffee with someone if you're both busy. Even interest from folks who have been here a while.
