Avantages
(My review is based on my experience in working in the IT Department) Overall, a good place to start a career because of the opportunity to learn diverse skills, which would be beneficial in the future job market, as well as within Progressive. Also, there are many well knowledgeable professionals to learn from. Used to be a 'fun' place to work and learn. From what I hear, it isn't anymore.
Inconvénients
Overkill by management and bureaucracy. Some good and a few excellent managers exist, but they are heavily outnumbered by people of dubious experience and extreme lack of understanding of the application of technology. A person who has not been good at any aspect of IT is eventually made an IT manager, because somehow a philosophy has been established that this lack of core IT skills or background actaully makes a better IT manager!
