ProQuest Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've worked for ProQuest since May of 2014 as a Systems Analyst / Support Desk Specialist. I am still currently employed there, and I still enjoy working for them. The room for advancement is quite slim, even before the unfortunate circumstances the pandemic has brought. They're a very strong company and well known in the library industry as not only a book/publishing company, but a library database company."

"I worked for ProQuest for 5 years."

"The worst IT I've ever seen in 20 years of my career. Security is non-existent, horrible customer relations, no antivirus solution, no intrusion detection system, no malware or threat prevention is in place, no firewall solution, everyone has full administrative access, no discretionary access control is in place, no auditing or logging is in place, no patching or software updates are performed. I would strongly suggestion any client to avoid using any pi2solutions.com product if you care anything about your data. How pi2solutions.com has ever passed an external audit without outright fabrication of the truth, is beyond my understanding."

"It was a decent profile but no growth."

"Overall, great people and flexibility to work from home when needed (family issues, weather, etc.) Generous vacation and holiday time. Growing pains with all of the acquisitions include professional development needs are ignored."

"Good place to work overall."
