Pick your projects well and you can learn/grow.
Pros: JP is not run as 1 big company. While you have "Global Technology", each project is different ... different in the work that you do, different in the way it's managed. If interviewing for JP, please ask about your role and project, not about the company as much (because that's easy to find out). I tend to pick projects where my job role allows me to be a full-time developer and not one that involves any form of support, however a vast majority of projects would require you to provide some sort of support as well.

That said the pros for me were ...
1. Great place to learn - but you have to take the initiative. They are mostly supportive of implementing new ideas as long as you can demonstrate their feasibility and value. If you expect to turn up and learn, that's not going to happen - you'll be given boring work. If you prove yourself ... the good work will follow.
2.  There are good technical training programmes - Most trainings are good - there are a few really bad ones but that's because the training department is trying out new people or have introduced a new training. Participant feedback is taken seriously to help improve future training programmes.
3. I was lucky with some good Managers, they protected me and let me do what I liked doing ... which is code away and they took care of the Politics, not all Managers there are like that.
Cons: Politics!
If your a techie and just want to do your work and be recognised for it ... this is not the place ... There's tons of politics ... TONS .. People will try and drag you down, take credit for your work and show it as their own ... it's a bank .. its competitive .. get used to it. There are good people as well, but they aren't the ones who will grow, they will either accept the situation or leave ... I chose the latter!

Policies are optionally enforced.
While there is a clear comp-off policy, some projects simply don't adhere to it!
They had (officially) arranged the 7 day Project Planing workshop to cover a Saturday and Sunday and there were no comp-offs ... Planning to work on weekends without a need and not giving comp-offs!!! That's just a RED LINE! The problem is there are too many suck-ups who agree to this, so when people who feel this is incorrect speak out, they are told that others don't complain. Just say NO ... It's your right, don't let management bully you.

Compensation
While they do pay well it does not make sense to stay for long, you will find that despite your best efforts, lateral hires with less that half your knowledge or capabilities and often with less experience earn more ... That's the Indian IT job market, the more you switch, the more you earn ... Stay at-most 3 years, then get out .... or learn to suck-up!
