Pros

Strong, stable company with a clear operating model — you know how things are supposed to work. Competitive benefits, bonus structure, and overall financial consistency. Flexibility in how and where you work, depending on the role. Opportunities to build a long-term career if you can navigate the organization effectively. Talented colleagues and cross-functional partners who care about doing good work.

Cons

Leadership quality is inconsistent, and your experience is highly dependent on who you report to. High performers are often relied on heavily without corresponding recognition or support. Decision-making can be political, with credit and visibility not always aligned to actual contribution. Communication and alignment break down at higher levels, creating unnecessary friction. Innovation and strategic work can be constrained by legacy thinking and internal dynamics. Psychological safety is not consistent across teams, particularly when challenging leadership or the status quo.

Can't think of any. Working remotely gets lonely at times but that's not Progressive's fault.

Pros

Good combo of routine and complex work Hybrid Cool coworkers Ability to truly impact customers Learning opps

Cons

They shuffle big bosses around to the detriment of everyone. Directors and managers and sups that are not subject matter experts in their department BEFORE they join are ruining the company. Individual contributors have to manage up constantly with no pay and often get on board with low quality leader mistakes vs fighting yet another uphill battle to point out the error to their leader. Progressive growth structure encourages people getting complacent in their role and then getting in everyone else's way. If you mention the complacency, leaders indicate to assume positive intent. You can't rebuttal EVERY completely valid leader criticism with "assume positive intent". We want more subject matter experts in charge of us, not just people who have been a supervisor before in any which way.
