What is the ramp up time expected too?
The company I work for now actually has fairly long tenure times, 4 years or more. There really isn't an expected ramp-up time. Each project handles onboarding their own way. "Hit the ground running, learn as you go." is pretty popular.
On complicated systems on large technical estates with varied or niche business requirements, a lack of training can be extremely counter productive.
A lack of progress often more likely indicates poor management than that the new employee is an "imposter".
At Travelocity I became a developer because I was involuntarily reclassify into development. If I wanted to keep my job I had to learn it. Any time tough challenges came up I was expected to train myself and figure out how to do it the right way. Copy/pasting from an external source or hoping some framework/tool would do my job for me were unacceptable. This line of thinking evaporated the moment I separated for a military deployment.
At Bank of America they will pay for you to attend some boot camp class about using some framework.
In absolutely every other case you were expected know what you needed the moment you walked through the door and there is never training or any other kind of professional growth once you get there. If you want to get better or learn some new school you are writing code on your own outside office hours.
That sets false expectations and bias in hiring and candidate selection. If you look at almost any posted developer open rec the listed qualifications are usually a list of tools, frameworks, and languages. Rarely is the list of qualifications specific to skills or performance.
The expectation is to hire a tool money that can turn a figurative wrench instead of an engineer who can create a more powerful/efficient system. The bias kicks in during candidate selection. The company knows it needs a capable candidate to be selected for the given set of requirements but there is no formal industry guidance to define any kind of baseline.
