Pros

Large company; opportunity to move to different state or country; peer relationships are great; company assignments are good. Great online learning tool available to everyone. Comprehensive benefits package (except there is no 401k match).

Cons

My experience and those I have observed over the past six years shows me that once hired there are no raises and most job changes are lateral. Very few promotions from within but there is opportunity to move to elevated role if you move to a different company/engagement. My advice for a new person is to get what you need up front and don't believe what is said about increases or training. If you are new to the industry then this might be a great place to start but for seasoned professionals not the best choice. I have also observed that the culture of the company assignments can also make experience better or worse. If the assignment is at a company that has a more balanced work/life culture then workload is managable; if the company is very serious and resents "outsourced" resources then the stress flows to Keane staff and the hours can be very hard to do without some burnout.

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.
