Keane News and Happenings.

What do you think -- is this company going to survive and thrive? Are they looking to expand their staff, or do you think layoffs are inevitable?

How does Keane stack up against the competition?

The reason behind this lay off is nothing but company inability to get new projects. In recent past company did not get any new project but lost existing big projects to it's competitors (Infosys/Wipro). And new management is highly responsible for this situation as they do not have prior experience of running big company.

Since they do not have enough projects to accommodate people whom they hired recently (They hired around 500 fresher in last 10 months) even after major chunk of their existing employee left the company (after taken over by caritor). Around 50% of the Keane employees have already left Keane India in last 8-9 months.

Company management is just trying to set the inventory correct (by all hook and crook – No Project – No Employee and Cost cutting by all measures) even after loosing projects and people and now this action showed nothing but their inability to run business.

Still they are hiring people from campus interview (I heard that they hired 300 from Amity - Noida - is a private college) as they know that by doing campus they are creating market news and their value, as they know very wells that they need not to pay the new employees now, but after few months once they complete their college and even they have liability to not to give offer letter to new hires.

All fresher...PLEASE BEWARE OF KEANE INDIA PRACTICE....

i.e correct. good reply, even they dont have customer satisfaction. So definitely no new projects they are trying to get the profit by cutting employee benifits and salaries.

Advice - Be aware of the company.

I worked for Keane for several years in India. After Caritor acquired Keane, the company has been losing business month after month. Many clients are waiting for their contract terms to be over and then they will fire them. The company recently fired employees, again a sign that instead of growing in India they are losing business. Looks like another failed acquisition..

BAD NEWS for employees.

Actually - the company has been growing steadily and has had huge advancements in the Healthcare Solutions Division Long Term Care group. In fact, a lot of our base coding takes place in India.

We have the best support in our industry (HSD) and the best products. But don't come looking for a job here.

I have been offered by Keane India for a Senior Program Manager Role. After reading this thread I am wondering if it goes well with Keane now to join.

Any body from Keane our ex-Keane ca guide?

Thank you all for such feedback.
