Pros

There are still some very talented and bright people to work with.

Cons

- The is an almost absolute lack of communications from senior management. It's like working for a US company back in the 50's and 60's with an autocratic leadership with no feedback loop from below. The expertise and thought leadership in project management that the company had prior to the Caritor aquisition has been thrown away. Senior management from Caritor is learning on-the-job how to run an organization that's more than 5 times as big as they ran before. And because they had a miniscule US workforce before aquiring Keane, they don't understand the US workforce. I would even say that they have a certain level of contempt for the US workforce and believe them to lazy and overpaid. Not a fun place to be (unless you're below the radar at a client site).

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.
