I think this is very much company-dependant
It is. But I am trying to look beyond my own experience. Working in tech makes this more flexible, but not all companies are like that.
Aroogah-
Oh definitely, I guess my thinking was more along the lines of "companies with a positive company culture will likely make an effort to ensure new starters don't feel left out as a result of current WFH setup".
But yeah, this will naturally vary company-to-company. Though personally I don't think it's limited to the tech industry, once again though, I'm not speaking from direct experience so feel free to discount that opinion!

I think this is very much company-dependant. We've hired 3 new people in the past 2/3 months (all done via video calls with the exception of supplying a laptop upon starting) and there isn't a noticeable difference in terms of the new starts integrating with the rest of the team versus pre-WFH. We have daily catchups at the start of the day and a social chat once a week so that likely helps a good deal.
