Oh beyond, but it’s going to be completely out of your control.
Funding never being available, requests taking forever to get approved that people forget you even asked, and nobody taking ownership of anything and stuff just gets passed around until people stop talking about it.
Oh and this super important project that somehow affects the smallest workgroup in the building? Drop everything! You need to get this done NOW! And then that workgroup comes in after it’s done and they tell you thanks but they didn’t need the project done for another 2 months. Oh and in 2 months that project you got finished needs to be moved to a completely different location now and it’s due tomorrow.
But everyone is mostly chill and for 90% of the job it’s not stressful. Pay and benefits are…average, but you get bank holidays off now.

Frankly, stuff like this is not usually that common.
There is a truism about life, though, that is especially true in the corporate world: You think up an idea and it sounds easy peasey. When you actually try to implement that idea, you tend to run into a number of things you didn’t initially think about.
There is often some separatism and administration overhead that can be annoying to deal with, but it’s a crapshoot as to any particular organization will be moderately annoying vs. extremely annoying.
There is shit in almost every job. So do what you like, you might as well.
