What is the benefit for companies to "grow" juniors within themselves?

Answer 1

Where middles won’t go:
- shit projects
- all sorts of bitrixes
- wild legacy
- low salaries
- where the technology is not really very complex and the level of juniors with a couple of months of understanding is quite suitable, that is, companies can utilize just such a level
- they prowl among the "juniors" those who are middles simply do not know this.
Not everywhere the factors work consciously (that is, this is not a conspiracy and not villains), but simply approximately in the company they understand that these juniors are what they need for some reason or even the only available

Answer 2

Against the background of a lack of personnel, it is much better when you have employees than when they are not, this is the only reason

Answer 3

I'll add my five cents.
Often there is a lot of routine and manual work on projects where deep knowledge is not needed. Keeping an extra middle / senior for this routine is very unprofitable. June, under the supervision of experienced colleagues, can successfully rake this routine.

Answer 4

The question was posed incorrectly. The word "grow" should be replaced by the word "keep".
You didn’t give up on anyone to “raise” you.
For the rest , Maxim Fedorov said everything.

Answer 5

There is no benefit, so few Junes are hired and raised. Rare exceptions can be divided into three groups:

1. Galleys squeezing all the juice out of juniors due to the fact that for a junior this is the first place of work and he still does not know how relations with an employer are built correctly.
   
2. Companies with highly specific technologies that cannot hire a specialist in the labor market, but can be sure that the grown one will not run away.
   
3. Huge corporations that can afford to invest in the development of the labor market.
   

Answer 6

1. Sometimes it is more profitable than hiring experienced developers right away.
2. Sometimes such developers are more loyal to the company
3. Sometimes this is the only possible option, because in the region where the company operates, experienced developers may not be enough.
In general, if a company does this, then it is justified.
