8+ years at Pronto Progress - Project Mentor Pronto Progress Employee Review

Being employed by Pronto Progress allows you to gain a lot of practical and real world experience working alongside very talented software developers and other staff. As an intern, I found the environment to be very rewarding in terms of pushing me out of my comfort zone and allowing me to exercise my initiative and communication skills for tasks that I needed to complete. Hunter Kingsley, the President and CEO of the company, is very passionate about his work and holds high standards for his employees. This to me was a pivotal part of working for Pronto Progress as it emphasized the importance of working hard to achieve common goals. If you work hard, communicate efficiently and are not afraid to make mistakes and fix them accordingly, then you will be VERY successful at Pronto Progress.

It is a very fast-paced environment with new work constantly appearing. If you are someone who cannot function in a fast paced environment or handle multiple tasks at once, this might not be the job for you. However, the CEO emphasizes the importance of asking questions and reaching out for help if need be. This is definitely an exciting job that will always keep you on your feet.

1) accelerate your knowledge base and trouble shooting skills 2) Learn how to communicate in an EXACT manner 3) Develop ability to write down / remember EXACT details for coding assignments while mentioned in casual conversation 4) Learn the skill set of a full stack developer

1) Management - "President Emeritus" (Tim Proksch, a.k.a. Hunter T. Kingsley) is the largest and only reason for placing this as number one. During my time there I was belittled, swore at and blames for mistakes that were made by mister Emeritus himself. 2) WorkLife - if your working on a standard client project you will have this, but if you are doing on anything near Mr Emeritus or if he has a random one off task for you THERE IS NO SUCH THING. He will message you anytime he wishes / will call you before work / after work or even during. (to the office phone and then complain at you when you didn't say the proper greeting even though you can clearly see he is the one calling) 3) Time off - Company has some drastically low time off and it will be about 5 years before you get anything close to the industry standard. 4) This job will make you question if this is the life for you - working this job made me think that I made a mistake, that I had picked the wrong major but I can almost guarantee you that it's not the work... Its the job. It's Mr. Emeritus
