How to successfully onboard new PMs – Cem Kansu @ Duolingo

Product to Product, a podcast for / by product people, is back for season 5! 

This season, we’re diving into the growing pains of a scaling product company. We’ll be giving PMs tactical advice on how to overcome common roadblocks when their teams are going through crazy growth. To kick off this season, we have Cem Kansu talking to us about programs and techniques he uses to make sure new hires are set up for success right from the start. 

The onboarding process is more than just having a laptop set up for your new employee on their first day. Product companies need to recognize that onboarding is equally as important as hiring. It’s counterproductive to overlook the onboarding experience because it’s costly to start the process all over again––especially when a company’s goal is to scale sustainably.

Cem is a Director of Product Management at Duolingo who’s been focused on onboarding new employees.
