Good company with growing service-oriented mindset
Pros: 1. Personally, the company I saw 2 years before is not the same company I'm seeing now. Company is now transforming into technology leader that can complete with other tech savvy companies. So much amount of money is being invested in technology and employees are encouraged to explore all the latest tool stack in the market. 
2. Good salary and year-end bonuses
3. Free cab facility
4. If you are someone who doesn't want to sit idle and want to learn and work, this company will give you immense opportunities.
5. Brand image 
6. Flat reporting structure 
7. Good work/life balance overall unless you're unlucky to be in a very bad team :)
Cons: 1. JP is not an exception when it comes to internal politics but not as bad as other service based companies in India
2. Sometimes you're not recognized for the good work that you do. Only the ones who are in favor to the manager will get recognition.
3. Sometimes you'll be given work in a technology on which you don't even know 'abc' and you'll be blamed for no progress and you'll be abused for being in comfort zone.
4. Referral portal is there just for name-sake. No one will look into the profile that you uploaded. Only if you know the manager who has the requirement, your referral will be considered. Politics played for referral bonus. Most of the VP and above level will have their relatives, spouses and friends in the org. 
5. US team feel like they are only ones working in the org, I'm talking about Indians working in the US. They're the worst peers to work with. They just play all the cheap games to survive in the org. 
6. No abroad opportunities unless you're a super performer.

Not all teams are same. I have seen some very good teams where you would ideally want to work with.
