Where to move in a new workplace?

Question

Design

Hey! I have been working as a designer for about 3 years.
A couple of weeks ago I got a job in a large company. At the interview, they colorfully described the tasks and projects that I would have to deal with, they also told me about the processes: that the department they want to take me to is actively rebuilding and developing, and there is a lot of work.
On that note, I accepted the offer.
When I started working, I gradually discovered that 90% of what was said at the interview was not true. I sit alone and without a team, among people who have nothing to do with me, there were no tasks at all for a long time, somehow I got myself one, judging by its level, they gave it to me to fall behind.
On the one hand, I think that it's too early to whine and things can get better. On the other hand, I don’t see the prerequisites for any changes, so I start to worry that I’m just wasting time. Maybe you should look at the possibility of an internal transfer to another department? How do they feel about it?
In short, it is difficult for me to objectively assess the situation, so I want to ask you for help. Would you advise me? Thank you.

Answer 1

You have a probationary period ahead of you (unless, of course, it was stipulated), it just serves to ensure that you take a closer look at the employer and the employer at you. And during this period, you can leave quite normally. and no one will judge it. For some reason, according to tradition, it is believed that during the probationary period only the employer watches how you work. And he starts to get offended if it's the other way around...

Answer 2

the department they want to take me to is actively rebuilding and developing

Well, where is the deception? Everything works just like that. In six months or a year, they will either be reduced, or attached to another department, or you will become king)

Answer 3

In large companies, it can only take a couple of weeks for those who depend on you to only know about your existence.

Answer 4

Judging by your text, you got a job in a non-core company, yes, a designer in such a company is always on his own. But this is bad only on the one hand, on the other hand, it opens up opportunities for you to take the initiative. I advise you not to wait for the tasks, but to come up with them yourself if the manager has not bothered with this. This will show you from the best side and you will prove your effectiveness.
If you work with interfaces, then find the weak points in the company's products, come up with a solution and show the manager a presentation on how they can be improved. If you work in a conditional marketing department, then look around, if the branded notebooks and pens that you were given on the first working day look poor, then make new ones, find a printing house, call to find out how much printing costs and come with a decision to the manager.
If you do such work and do not feel that it is appreciated, then you can safely run away with peace of mind.
PS You wrote the question at the end of the year, perhaps that's why there was no work - everyone is already resting.
