My Juspay Internship Experience

This article is about my internship at Juspay.

Juspay is a leading fintech company in India. Their SDKs are on over 200Mn devices, they process over 5Mn transactions every day!!
So, let's get started!

Intro

I am Pratik Singh, a 3rd year engineering student from Bangalore.
In this blog post, I will describe the application process, the interview process, and my experience working at this company. The sections are organised according to the timeline below.

Selection Process

I'm going to tell you more about my long and fun process.

  • Cold Mail : Yes!! I had just emailed the contact email with a decent cover letter and resume. I wish I could share the template. But I would advise you to be specific, be detailed, and make sure your resume is up to par. A relevant article about this: Here

  • Coding Test : Having some experience with competitive programming and DSA would be helpful for the coding test. I can't tell you much about the test, but I know speed will be your friend.

  • Learnathon: You're confused, right? so was I. But it's the most interesting hiring concept I have ever encountered. So, think of a Learnathon as a 2 or 3 days event. Developers are given a set of tasks to execute and are interviewed every day on their progress. Mentors assist and support. It provides a glimpse into the work you will be doing at Juspay. It's a great process because it's totally new to everyone! !So only talented developers remain. The only tip I can say is, Don't Quit!

  • Interview: It is a normal tech interview, there are better resources available to prepare for it. The unique aspect was that it wasn't too focused on DSA questions. My only recommendation is to be straightforward and honest.

  • Selected :)

    Experience

    Over the past six months, I have worked with the infrastructure team on various DevOps tools, including Kubernetes, Docker, Grafana, Prometheus, Wazuh, as well as training on AWS.

I enjoyed working with diverse technologies during my internship at Juspay, and I learned to become more aware of proper coding practices. The intern projects at Juspay are very well-curated, and by completing them, a person will put their mark on the company. Our team treated interns not as newbies but as fellow colleagues. In every event large or small, intellectual or fun, interns were actively involved. We did not experience any workload kicking in because the seniors and team are extremely supportive. We were encouraged to learn, implement and break things as we went along.

I have worked both from home and from the office in the last 6 months.

Work From Home

The Company offered us furniture setup at home

While WFH has its own perks, I had difficulty enjoying the team as a whole due to the remote start of my internship. Flexibility in office hours and support is something a college student is not used to. My manager is really supportive and helpful in every possible way. And the team was very interactive and helpful to us.

Work from Office

I first experienced an actual office when our office reopened after the 2nd wave hit. The amount of learning we gained by working alongside our seniors was incredible! The team is so great and fun. The management encourages developers to learn more and new stuff. As a college student, I got to experience corporate life firsthand.I used to get time to focus on studies, hackathon and more even after the internship.

The Fun Part


We had many office parties as well as team parties. Meals and snack breaks were all shared as a big family. We all went out to the movies together. We would have completed our Goa Office Retreat successfully if not for the 3rd wave of Covid. We have Carrom, Table tennis, and Chess in the office to help us in the debugging hours. They have so many TVs setup, thefirst time I felt like I walked into Gadda Electronics.

Conclusion

It's the place to be if you're a developer who wants to learn and grow. It gives you the opportunity to experiment with various languages and technology stacks. I have never felt pressured at work. I was able to maintain a balance with my college and internship work I have worked with great developers and the seniors treat us as equals.
And also, I love the Coffee machine.
This company is on an amazing journey, and it's a blessing to be a part of it!
