Pros

Decent pay, good clients, existing subscription business provides a foundation for future growth

Cons

The consulting services business is a joke given the almost the complete lack of a delivery team and experienced / qualified consultants to actually perform the project work. The India-based global services resource center is staffed by persons who have minimal understanding of the healthcare industry and who are guaranteed to get-it-wrong, but thankfully there's always Wikipedia to correct the gaps in the so-called proprietary data / insight. The forecasting tools should be avoided like the plague because they rely upon unvalidated financial models meaning that their predictive output will likely be a surprise to all parties. Do not buy this service, it is a complete waste of money. Finally the business continues to experience very high employee turnover due to a high stress environment, very weak senior leadership that values making the sale more than delivery of a quality product and total ethical corruption. GD core data service products are a scam that involves the collection of information that is already in the public domain that can be had for free by anybody with a computer and internet access. The phrase why get it for free when you can pay for it applies to data service subscribers, if they only knew how little effort went into collecting this pile of junk or ensuring that it was accurate, nobody would ever pay for this service.

Pros

Good to work, Have proper team and management. The head manager and the team manager are very cooperative. Even the HR are also well versed.

Cons

Please do allocate proper work buddies who might also help the new intern. Sometimes the buddies are dumbest and they them-self doesn't know how to work in certain sheets and models. Politics in team mostly occur because of the local employees and the one who are very chatty.

Pros

Having worked for other reputable publishing firms, I can clearly state that there are no pros for working at Progressive

Cons

You may end up with a perforated ear drum from all the shouting from the "Sales Management" Team. The management team seem to stand by your side, shouting and barking orders at you. They lack the intelligence and training required to have high performing sales staff and assume that they're sales technique is good. Complete novices with a massive staff turn-over. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.
