Nope. Doesn't sound bad at all. There are a few devils here and there! (Mainly behind the drywall.)I can honestly say that while pros would have done a much better job, it's all really good. Especially given that there are huge issues with things being un-level and out of square. As an example, the room floor actually slopes down from the shower to the door. It drops about 1" over 8'.

I could have either raised the low side up (then there would have been a step going into the room) or dropped the shower side down (which would have required cutting down the joists).

Or we could do what we did which was make sure the floor was as flat as possible even if it wasn't level. Compromises stink but are often required.

Almost all of the grout lines are straight and consistent. The exception being the herringbone wall in the shower. That was our first herringbone ever and was a huge learning experience. The backsplash wall went great and looks much better. There is almost no tile lippage anywhere. (Used leveling clips on the wood tile in the shower and on the floor.)
