If you're a software engineer, you'll probably be walked around to "see the building(s) & teams" and then get some simple task to get you up to speed and learn about the environment, all under the supervision of some person.
For me, the most important thing is always simply understanding who has what role in the company. When I have a question, knowing whether I ought to ask my direct manager, other colleagues on the team, a subject matter expert, other management teams, our sysadmins, etc. is the most difficult thing to figure out. It can take months sometimes.

Edit: didn't notice it's a software community.
