Pros

Amazing people, great benefits for those who seek to settle down and start a family, excellent opportunity for newcomers to garner valuable experience through the internship program.

Cons

Disappointing salary, upper-level leadership that's more willing to save themselves than protect their subordinates, and a culture which very much promotes bad behavior. Ie. deadlines are often swept aside because a higher up will drop a last minute addition that makes great business sense in their mind, but at significant cost to those who actually have to act upon the sudden changes. Occasional drills are to be expected in any company, but it's guaranteed to happen for any project at any stage of time for the Marketing Department.

Pros

Esri pays your health insurance. A few extra holidays that other companies may not offer.

Cons

-Below average pay for California. Already a struggle living out here due to cost of living. -Support services is a mess. We have to bend over backwards for customers always teetering on scope of support. Might as not even have those guidelines anymore if it's a constant battle for internal resources to back you. -Constant releases of software that breaks customer workflows. Too many bugs. Lack of QA. -Whats the point of middle management if all decisions have to come from higher ups that have no understanding of supports day by day. -Unwillingness to let senior employees work from home. And if you do work from home they hold it against you if you want to apply to an internal position. Almost like a thinly veiled threat. -Other teams feel the need to steam roll support sometimes, often leading to fragmented relationships. -Lastly there is way too much work and never enough people.
