Cons

Advice to Senior Management

Need to provide benifits to hourly consultants

Pros

A very understanding management team. Worked with 2 different client accounts and I found both managers to be extremely helpful and accommodating. I did not see any exploitation here and was very comfortable dealing with management

Cons

The RCM team, responsible for placing you into your next assignment was ok. But was disappointed when I couldnt reach out to them during my job search. They followed an extremely strict email only process which was frustrating. Also i did not like their relocation expense policy. They give very little time to come up with an estimate and then force you to stick with it. But this can be overcome if you end up working for a good understanding manager.

Advice to Senior Management

Great job in helping employees.
Can do a bit of work with the RCM team to make employees feel a bit more secure

Pros

average benefits, good vacation policy, average salary. better than most small IT service providers, if your manager is good then things will be better.

Cons

Salary is stagnant, no bonus, hours of work can stretch without being paid. Lot of lip service without doing anything concreate.

Advice to Senior Management

Have a standard policy applied across the company. It is difficult to participate in certain program if you are located in client location.

Pros

Wide range of benefits (but some of the premiums are higher than other companies)
Great Parking
A chance to work in a larger company environment

Cons

This company is very chaotic and disorganized. It still functions like a bunch of smaller companies. They are very reactive and fail to plan ahead.
Pay raises are a joke and they are constantly trying to send as many jobs to India as possible. Between the high turnover and layoffs, a lot of important processes have fallen through the cracks. Employees are not treated as a valuable asset. There is really no incentive to work hard because only the higher ups will get a raise, bonus or promotion. They will still expect you to work way more than a 40 hr work week. Kiss your nights and weekends goodbye.

Advice to Senior Management

You should value your employees more. You would be more successful with a happy & dedicated workforce.

Pros

- Good company for freshers.
- Good onsite oppurtunities in some projects.
- Flexible work timings in some projects.
-

Cons

- Low salary compared to market standards.
- Resource Mangement is pathetic.
- Performance Feedbacks rarely given appropriately.

Pros

Nice benefits
Better pay compared to others
Vacation Policy
Farily decent learning opportunities

Cons

Operating Model
Senior Management

I did not know that Keane does IT staffing until I joined them. All or almost all employees at Keane are in staff augmentation model. You will never see your Keane manager, all your appraisal and work review will be driven by the client. There is no real difference between Keane and other staffing companies in terms of how they operate their projects.

Advice to Senior Management

The company needs to move from the Staffing model to a consulting model

Pros

1.Good chance to learn if you are a fresher.
2.If you like travelling ,they would keep you roaming around.
3.You can move across to different roles vertically.

Cons

1.Management comes and goes like a wind.
2.No proper communication from management, everything is shady.
3.No good compensation and benefits.
4.No training or development of resources.

Advice to Senior Management

Please retain talented resources ,as most of good ones have to leave the organisation as they dont get what they deserve
