For Cisco consultants, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP certificate. For network security, you should have you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or other top security credentials.

Progent can broadcast your talents, but you must provide basic certifications for us to work with. In case you happen to be adamantly opposed to the concept of credentials, we can understand and honor your opinion, but you are probably not a good fit.

Progent will exploit information technology to an extraordinary extent and our advanced virtual office environment allows seamless communications, collaboration, and knowledge sharing with fellow Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or on-the-road offices. Consultants don’t waste time or lose income because of regular drives to a physical office, and any travel you do for on-site client jobs is determined by your schedule, not ours. The best part is that most of Progent's consulting services can be performed remotely, representing 100% efficiency for billable hours. In fact, some Progent staff do remote consulting only.

Progent's business structure is set up for reacting rapidly and efficiently to customer requirements via information exchange and collaborative problem resolution.

A job in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other job in information technology.

Customers rely on consulting firms to perform the “hard stuff.” Innovative tasks, advanced implementations, puzzling or entrenched issues, and difficult migrations are the foundation for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for network engineers in traditional corporate jobs. You will wake up every morning enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

On the way, you will meet some wonderful people, both by establishing strong customer contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and add to their success. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization through and through.
