This only really applies to really large companies mind you, but I would say:
1) You don't need to work your way up the approval chain. Your idea is already going to people with the authority to act on it.
2) You have significant ability to just call people and get them to share their data and domain knowledge
3) You have little risk of long term problems from saying something that someone doesn't like, so long as its not the person who hired you.
4) The pace is probably very very fast relative to the speed of most large orgs. Probably not sustainably fast tbh. It's fine because it's several weeks of hard focus and then a bit of a break.
If you feel like you're doing fine and are answering important questions then you probably are doing just fine and your company's data culture is healthy. IMO people who build analyses that few people want or need are acutely aware of it.
