19 days after starting the mentor matching process for the St.Petersburg and Tel Aviv SEED term, we have matched 27 of the 33 participants.
This term got off to a little slower start than the first term from
EMEA (for staff in Dublin, Grenoble, Hamburg, and Prague) but at the two
week mark, both terms were at about 2/3 matched. This EMEA-2 group already
has 5 Vice Presidents and 5 Distinguished Engineers among its mentor group
so they are getting some very serious executive support. Unusually,
only 8 of the matched mentors have served the program before; the rest are
mentoring with SEED for the first time. Also unusual is that we may get
through this entire matching process on one Mentor Wish List from everybody.
That is: all but one of the six participants not yet matched is being
considered by a potential prioritized among their top five.
All in all, I have good hopes of getting everyone matched well within the
first month.
