Pros

Esri is a great company and has grown a lot since the time that I joined 8 years ago. The president is passionate about the technology, the users and helping them be successful. Most of the teams are following the latest software development methodologies but some are lagging behind. The benefits are great and work/life balance is also nice.

Cons

It is hard to get yourself noticed and recognized unless you talk a lot!

It’s great that your experience as an Esri employee has been a positive one. We hope you’ll continue to grow personally and with the company in the years ahead. Just a reminder that we have an active Toastmasters chapter on campus, “Toastmappers,” to help employees improve their communication and leadership skills. More information is available on our intranet if this is something you think you’d enjoy.

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.
