Upon not being offered the support that a good on-boarding process should include, she worked with other members of the team to solve the problem she was facing and get started on something useful, rather than trudge through the rather pointless series of tasks that were assigned a higher priority than a basic work surface. Sounds like a team player to me.

Uhm not what I took from the text: "Some friends who had already been at the company reached out and provided their own take on how to get started, and I went from that."
This looks like people from random other teams in the company. Not the team she was hired for. Totally doing her own thing because she had some connections.

I suppose that particular sentence could be interpreted a number of ways; I see it more as leveraging connections necessarily rather than surreptitiously. Either way, having friends at the company would also help cultivate a sense of optimism that carried her through this time rather than being as significant at the time as many are proposing.
