Pros

Good place to blabber with some technical terms and impress and get bonuses. Please realize that these chatter boxes will never improve bottom line. Thanks for understanding.

Cons

Ok place to be associated with Keane but no room for career building opportunities. No room for good innovative people. On top of this these time sucking managers will waste the good working people's time. Managers do not know how to manage people and explore the potential of their own people. Keane is in the business of consulting. In consulting business every consultant should be treated like an ambassador at the client place. These people know more than anyone else at clients place. Keane managers irritate the very own team that they should treat them as ambassadors. They will not give pay raises, nor good career opportunities. If you want to grow you have manage up and do work like excel file filling all the time. Managers(non-billable) do send some emails and ask some information just to make sure they are also working. I believe this is how they manage their higher-ups. So called managers think they are real managers but when problem arises they act like mice and run to technical team to solve the problems. After fixing the issues they again show their bossism on their people. Bottom line managers should have good listening skills along with leading the team with an example and empower certain decisions depending on the situation. Keane management if you are seeing this then at least realize that you need to retrain or get rid of these time sucking managers. Best of luck.

Pros

They pay you. There's a severance package, if you can hold out for a year.

Cons

There haven't been any raises across the board for two years and no one above 90K is having 401K matched. The people I knew when I started were not there at the end--I can only think of one project person who was still there that I knew...and I wasn't isolated. It feels like the company is just playing at it rather than taking business development and employee retention seriously. I honestly cannot figure out how they can keep contracts. The proposal office must be very good, because my impression is that dedication to oversight of projects is basically nonexistent. In neither case was my PM for the Keane portion of the contract actually onsite.
