Hi..Can anyone share the software engineering / IT levels structure at Progressive Insurance? How titles like Systems Engineer, Senior, Lead, map in terms of scope and seniority.
FYI if your a "big red" worker looking for greener pastures, that company destroyed its legacy company to be more like its competitors. So leaving that company is a lateral trade into another company who cares nothing about its workers in most cases.
Your only hope is to find a small insurance company..ive been looking for years.
Not saying progressive is garbage, really the red company isnt either....just your not going to find legacy SF out there unless you get into a tiny insurance company. We changed to be more like progressive, which is why they are excelling and we are not.
@OP former employee, do not work here, the culture is horrible, to avoid liability they have a "Guard your words and actions" policy in HR. To tattle tale to HR is encouraged. Whether a complaint is legitimate or not, you will be held responsible if someone "feels" that you don't like them. They are intimidated by vocabulary or "big words" as they call them. Most senior leadership arrived via length of employment. Many went to work right out of high school so, there's that. It's very mean girl management. You can do better. It ain't worth it.
Something to think about is that it keeps you working long hours all year with a hope of a bonus. There is nothing stopping them from firing you the day before you receive your gainshare and they do that every year. When they fire you there is no serverance, no thank you and no personal interaction. Tricia Griffith is the person in charge of all the streamlining and she is at the top and does quite well.
Do not even consider joining this company. Management is greedy and vindictive. They will use and abuse you and when they are done, they will fire you to help their bottom line. Worst of all, they will have HR contact you because they wont have the courage to lie to your face!
The main advantage is yearly Gainshare bonus. Anywhere from 6 to 24 percent of salary. Manager bonuses start at 15% which could factor up to 30%. It is based on how well the company does. On a bad year with many fire or hurricane payouts the bonus could be lower.
Its doesn't pay well and it's unrewarding work with no advancement. You better stay at State Farm, we are literally selling our future for market share right now. The piper will come to be paid eventually.
