Consultants don't throw away time or lose revenue with regular drives to a conventional office, and all driving you do for on-site client jobs is determined by your schedule, not ours. The most attractive part is that much of Progent's support services can be done off-site, offering 100% productivity for income-producing hours. In practice, some Progent team members do remote support only.

Our operations are set up for responding rapidly and effectively to customer needs via information exchange and cooperative problem resolution. Although Progent's engineers work with a high level of independence, dispatching is unified, client issues and resolutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and organized for convenient reference, current consultant schedules are broadcast to facilitate team projects and enable problem escalation, and client satisfaction is always evaluated. We strengthen the sense of connection via monthly workgroup meetings and regular corporate events.

Most of our consultants are situated across California, but Progent is building a rapidly growing team of network experts throughout America. Our virtual office environment does away with geographic obstacles that restrict the efficiency of traditional company models.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a cornerstone for success with us. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other position in information technology. Being confronted by a steady stream of network challenges is what makes consulting exciting. Customers choose consultants to do the toughest jobs. Creative projects, advanced implementations, vexing or entrenched problems, and tricky migrations are the foundation for our services daily. With us, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is all too common for computer engineers in ordinary corporate roles. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the challenges to come.

Along the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by establishing close client relationships and by working closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and contribute to their success. Yes, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization heart and soul. If you do not offer excellent communications skills or enjoy working with a diverse assortment of personalities, then we are in all likelihood a poor fit.
