More Information Concerning Work at Progent
Fulltime Jobs for Network Engineers, Desktop Support Technicians, Security Consultants, and Remote Help Professionals Progent wants to find staff-level, results-oriented Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft MCSE credentials; Cisco accredited system engineers with Cisco credentials; security professionals with CISSP or equivalent security certification; and advanced system design consultants with a background in mobile solutions, wireless networking, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, data preservation, and server virtualization.

By supporting a team of talented and dedicated professionals, delivering world-class client care, and offering a competitive results-focused fee model, We have been able to expand our customer list dramatically while delivering consulting support to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S.. A sophisticated virtual office network, a shared knowledge database, and a group approach to problem resolution have helped Progent to maintain a skilled staff and a satisfied customer list.
If you are a network consultant with troubleshooting experience, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's customers will enhance your skills through cooperation with our group of highly supportive, talented consultants. Progent's commitment to providing information technology consulting and technical support to small companies will offer you the opportunity to work closely with key players and contribute significantly to the success of exciting businesses.
Progent is looking for technical professionals who have recognized certification related to their technical expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have earned your MCSE credential. For Cisco experts, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should show you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or other top security certifications. Naturally, Progent is aware of “paper MCSEs.” However, the fact that a certificate does not ensure expertise is no excuse for not having one. If you know your field, then most of those certifications should be no challenge. The bottom line is that if you are an expert, then customers expect credentials. Progent will market your skills, but you need to have a baseline of credentials for Progent to market. If you happen to be adamantly against the idea of credentials, we can understand and respect your opinion, but you are likely not an appropriate fit.

We will leverage technology to an extraordinary degree and our advanced virtual office environment enables seamless connectivity, cooperation, and information sharing with fellow Progent consultants — all from home-based or mobile offices. You don’t throw away time or lose income with regular drives to a conventional office building, and any travel you do for in-person client jobs is determined by your time table, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that much of our consulting services can be performed remotely, representing maximum productivity for income-producing hours. In practice, some Progent staff do remote consulting exclusively.
Our business structure is set up for reacting rapidly and effectively to client needs through information sharing and collaborative problem resolution. Although Progent's consultants operate with a great deal of independence, resource allocation is unified, client issues and solutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and organized for easy reference, current engineer schedules are published to streamline team projects and enable problem escalation, and customer approval is continually evaluated. We strengthen the feeling of cooperation through periodic team meetings and regular company-wide events.
The majority of Progent's team is located throughout California, but we are attracting a quickly expanding team of consulting professionals throughout the U.S. Our virtual office infrastructure does away with regional obstacles that restrict the productivity of traditional business models. We enhance the package by providing a full benefit plan to promote the health and financial security of our employees and their relations.
Just as we have awesome consulting professionals, our sales and operations groups match the excellence that defines Progent.

Having a passion for technical proficiency is a cornerstone for growth with Progent. A career in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other job in information technology. Being exposed to a steady stream of network challenges is what keeps consulting interesting. Clients rely on consulting firms to do the toughest jobs. Creative projects, advanced implementations, vexing or entrenched issues, and difficult migrations are the foundation for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for computer engineers in traditional corporate roles. You will wake up every morning enthusiastic about the opportunities to come.
On the way, you will meet some great people, both by building strong client contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and add to their growth. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization from top to bottom. If you do not have strong communications skills or enjoy working with a varied group of personalities, then we are probably a poor match.
If all this sounds good to you, we urge you to contact us about our view of the future of network consulting.
