Details About Work with Us

Career Work for Network Engineers, Computer Service Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Online Help Technicians
Progent is seeking to find staff-level, results-driven Microsoft certified consultants with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP credentials; Cisco certified system engineers who have Cisco certification; security professionals with CISM or comparable security certification; and advanced system design experts with a background in mobile access, wireless connectivity, high availability, business continuity, data preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also seeks professionals to join Progent's team of helpdesk service technicians and off-site troubleshooting professionals. In addition, Progent is looking for talented administrators able to operate productively in our fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By supporting a staff of talented and dedicated consultants, delivering world-class customer care, and offering a competitive value-focused fee model, Progent has managed to expand our client list dramatically while delivering professional support to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. An advanced virtual office network, a shared knowledge base, and a group approach to problem resolution have helped Progent to retain a talented consulting team and a loyal customer list.

If you are a network consultant with technical support experience, joining Progent or helping our customers will expand your knowledge through cooperation with our group of mutually supportive, talented engineers. Our commitment to providing network expertise and computer support to small organizations will offer you the chance to work closely with decision makers and contribute significantly to the growth of exciting companies.

Progent is hiring technical professionals who have verifiable credentials related to their special expertise. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credential. For Cisco experts, have your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional certificate. For security, you should have earned you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or one of the other leading security certifications. Of course, we are aware of "paper experts". Notwithstanding, simply because a credential can not ensure excellence is no justification for not having one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of those certifications should pose no challenge. The point is that if you are an expert, then clients expect certifications. Progent will broadcast your talents, but you need to have a baseline of certifications for us to market. If you stand adamantly opposed to the concept of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

Enhance Your Skills with the Best Technology and
Working with a Great Group of Network Engineers
Progent's productive atmosphere will make you a more capable professional by enhancing your technical knowledge and boosting the loyalty of your clients. Progent makes good on this promise by recruiting the best professional experts for you to work with, providing a state-of-the-art network and communications architecture, running custom software tools to deliver the maximum level of service, and by optimizing proven operational models for attracting and maintaining clients.

The main factor that differentiates Progent from most consulting companies is the excellence of our consulting team. Among the scores of consultants who have teamed with us, we have recruited top expertise covering a wide range of technologies. Whether it's Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, network security, Macintosh, Linux, virtual servers, or other vital technologies, we deploy experts who can help you to be effective on major projects by combining the collective skills of our team of professionals.

To ensure the success of Progent's consultants, we invest heavily in providing the best tools to do the work properly. We will exploit technology to an extraordinary degree and our advanced virtual office environment allows seamless communications, collaboration, and information sharing with other Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or on-the-road offices. You don't throw away time or lose revenue because of regular drives to a conventional office, and any travel you do for on-site client work is based on your time table, not Progent's. The best part is that much of our support services can be done off-site, representing maximum efficiency for income-producing time. In practice, some of our team members do remote consulting only.

Progent's operations are geared towards reacting quickly and efficiently to client requirements via information sharing and collaborative problem solving. Even though Progent's consultants work with a great deal of independence, dispatching is centralized, client issues and resolutions are meticulously tracked, recorded, and organized for easy retrieval, up-to-date consultant schedules are published to facilitate group projects and simplify trouble escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually monitored. We strengthen the sense of connection through periodic team meetings and regular corporate events.

The majority of our consultants are located across California, but we are attracting a rapidly growing team of consulting experts from across America. Our virtual office infrastructure eliminates geographic obstacles that limit the productivity of conventional company models. We enhance the deal by offering a full employee care plan to promote the health and financial security of our team members and their families.

Not only do we have awesome consulting professionals, Progent's marketing and operations teams match the high standards that characterizes Progent. These top-notch factors behind Progent's success are helping us to identify and land the 50-60 new customers we are currently acquiring every month. Progent recently marked the delivery of services to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also an effective sales operation.

Having a passion for technical excellence is a key for growth with Progent. A career in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other job in network technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of network challenges is what keeps professional support interesting. Clients choose consultants to perform the toughest jobs. Creative projects, advanced implementations, puzzling or chronic issues, and tricky upgrades are the basis for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be pigeonholed, as is sadly typical for computer engineers in traditional corporate jobs. You will wake up every morning excited about the challenges ahead.

On the way, you will work with some great people, both by building close customer relationships and by working closely with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization through and through. If you do not have excellent communications skills or enjoy cooperating with a diverse assortment of people, then Progent is in all likelihood not a good match.

If all this seems right for you, we invite you to talk to us about our view of the new paradigm of network consulting.
