Pros

Cons
  • Fast-paced work environment
  • Required to ramp up quickly and deliver results
  • Need to improve mentoring when working remotely

Advice:

Be self-sufficient and independent. Show your manager and your mentor what you can figure out yourself rather than asking them for help. This is the skill they are looking for when they consider hiring you full-time.
