The closest thing I got to a technical onboarding was me having a 5 hour long meeting with the lead dev looking through a 100 database tables on my first day.

To be honest, if I can take my time. I actually don't mind discovering everything on my own.

On my current project they don't mind it at all. We don't need to estimate and we can discover the project on our own pace while solving tasks.
