Pay attention to the guard and his destination, make sure you are not on his path which is shown on the floor map. If multiple players are on the same floor as you the guard is going to move in between each players turn. If you are on the first floor and playing with 3 other players and the guard moves 2 tiles after every player you want to be at least 6 tiles away from the guard or get on the next floor as soon as possible to reduce the number of times the guard will move in between player turns.

If a guard is going to find another player try to trigger an alarm that moves the guard away from the player or move to another floor if possible. Spreading players out on different floors slows the guard down.

Use the patrol deck to know which tiles the guard has already visited if you need somewhere to "hide".

Add hack tokens to computer tiles when you discover them because most likely you will be unable to go back and add them later when the guard has increased movement.

Once you locate the safe, make sure all the tiles in the same row and column as the safe are revealed because you cannot crack a safe without those tiles. For example if the safe is in tile B2, then B1, B3, B4, A2, C2, and D2 all need to be revealed in order to be able to crack the safe. You do not need to reveal every tile on a floor if you have located the safe, the tiles needed to crack the safe, and stairs. You may want to reveal tiles if you are looking for computer rooms or another useful room tile.

Crack safes from the first floor up because every time a safe is cracked it adds +1 movement to the guard on that floor and every floor below it.

Playing as the same character multiple times is a good way to learn the character and understand the ability.
