It takes a while to find your stride when starting somewhere new. Doubly (if not more) so if it's a big organization. Bureaucracy on top of bureaucracy.
I went through the exact same thing, fortunately I had close teammates that followed me between employers. They understood my life path pretty well. They helped me navigate it.
