Pros

If the associates team is great, you'll spend 3 months working 14 hours a day and you'll be proud of the achievements.

Cons

If the associates team is not great: brace yourself, they'll be the longest and stressful months of your life. No way of having a permanent contract, even after 3 years as an associate. No career opportunities.
