Mentorship helps everyone
Also consider the bus factor / lottery factor. It's not just seniors mentoring juniors... but employees helping each other to understand.

Tips for junior developers
Ask for support. Ask for a mentor. Ask questions.
If you are told "no" when you ask for help, find your own mentors - in or outside of the company. Reach out to the wider community.
Pair with everyone. You learn amazing things, and you figure out who is a good fit for you - and who you can ask to be your mentor.
Sometimes leaving for another job is for the best.
