Pros

A very good company to learn new technologies.

Don't bother about timings; you can leave the office any time you want.

Cons

Very poor management.

There is no uniformity in treating interns. Some mentors need to handle only one intern, but my mentor had to handle two other interns as well.

Work was very difficult for an intern, and also there was no proper training.

HRs take our review from our managers and mentors, but at the end of the day, if there is no vacancy in our team, it does not matter how we perform; we don't get a full-time offer.

For my batch, the reason they said was due to COVID-19 issues, they could not hire. But as I have seen other reviews, they have been firing interns even before COVID-19.

After firing us, citing COVID-19 issues, they are going once again to campus placement. I still don't understand how all of a sudden there are vacancies for hiring.

It was very frustrating to discover that.

Advice to Management

I would like to suggest to the hiring team that you please change your hiring system. If you have no intention of giving full-time offers to all interns, please do not hire them. In some colleges, students are not allowed to write for other companies' exams after getting hired, even though it is an internship. When it comes to Juniper, the full-time conversion rate is very low, and the student will be left with no job. If you can't change your hiring system, at least give them the opportunity to leave in the final interview. And please do change the hiring system: if you have no vacancy, don't hire many interns; just hire as many as you want.
