Sure, mostly stuff that had no bearing on anything, yet was left in the film. The scene with that slimy monster Guerrera had to figure out what people were hiding (also mentioning that it drives you mad), yet the pilot wasn't hiding anything and after a brief allusion to him having lost his mind, he seems fine about a minute later.
All of that should have been on the cutting room floor.
What should have been in his place was any sort of brief montage of Jyn battling alongside Sol so you could understand what he'd been through, as well as her experience level.
Those are broad stroke editing decisions, but there were also problems with pacing and cutting too much of a scene that could flesh things out a little more.
I have a feeling it was a director choice, but it was still poorly crafted in the first half of the film.
