Seriously regretting joining Robinhood right now...

I joined Robinhood about 8 months ago as a Data Analyst on the Growth team, and honestly, I'm already looking for other jobs. The onboarding was a mess, documentation is nonexistent, and the internal tools feel like they were built in the early 2000s. I came from a smaller startup where things were much more streamlined, and I thought joining a bigger company would be an improvement, but I was wrong. The meetings are endless, and it feels impossible to actually get anything done. Anyone else feeling this way? Is this just how big tech is, or is Robinhood particularly bad? Thinking of cutting my losses before the one-year mark. The lack of career growth is seriously concerning me. And I haven't even touched on the constant anxiety about potential layoffs...

I feel your pain. I had a similar experience joining a much larger company after being at a startup. The bureaucracy can be suffocating. My advice would be to try and find a mentor within the organization who can help you navigate the internal politics and processes. Also, document everything you do, even if the company doesn't have formal documentation. It will help you in the long run and possibly improve things for others.

Honestly, that sounds like pretty standard big company stuff. Eight months isn't very long; maybe give it a year to see if you can adjust. The grass isn't always greener, and job hopping too frequently can look bad on your resume. If you really hate it, start looking, but don't expect every company to be a perfectly oiled machine, especially one that grew as quickly as Robinhood did.
