SA - struggling with the work

SA at an EB within a fairly busy group. Having a hard time getting adjusted to the schedule of IB and working diligently. Still making a lot of small errors due to lack of attention to detail and feel like I'm having a hard time fitting in culturally. Do other SAs also go through the same experience or just me? 

Does anyone have any advice on how to get better at this aspect as a summer analyst? Thanks.
