> I'm not sure what kind of company you work for, but 6 months of training is ridiculously long, unless there is a lot of institutional knowledge that's siloed amongst a small subset of employees - which should never happen in the first place, if your manager was any good.

At Google there's an expectation that you won't be 'productive' for 6 months after joining, though that's not surprising considering how different everything is.

That really means 6 months till you are completely ramped up, at full productivity. If you are actually not productive, not producing anything of value, for 6 months...

How are these things actually measured or scaled?

Likely its all relative to your co-workers and your managers experience with the employees who have come before you.
