I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Esri (Sacramento, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
Phone screen set up two weeks in advance...interviewer kept saying "perfect" to my answers and promised individual feedback within 2 days. 2 days later I got a generic "we're moving forward with other candidates" email. It's a job I'm very well suited for (and I work in staffing so I advise clients on their hiring process as part of my job). I see a lot of criticism of / inconsistencies in their process as reported on Glassdoor but not a willingness to optimize the process to make the company a preferred employer. That means you won't attract and retain top talent. Period. Not a pleasant experience - especially the invitation to pursue other openings - but with no feedback on where the mismatch was on the first opportunity.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Profile Review, followed by description of sales process, what I perceive client benefits of the product to be
Very professional with good communication and a good timeline of response. It’s quite a few interviews but it feels like you’re being appropriately vetted to be a good fit on a team.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Esri (Olympia, WA) in Jan 2026
Interview
A recruiter reached out and encouraged me to apply based on my background. After a basic screening call where we confirmed by background as being directly relevant (hence their encouragement to apply), "I'll reach out to you early next week". I sent a follow up email after a week. Ghosted. No courtesy email.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Esri (Louisville, CO) in May 2025
Interview
Straight-to-the-point 30min initial video interview with HR rep and then forwarded to prospective supervisor for 60min interview. The prospective supervisor was casual. There were a handful of questions that got us back into a more formal interview process in between chatter. These included behavioral questions including a couple of scenarios. There was also an open-ended question about how I would go about engaging the prospective account. I tried to get detail about what the supervisory style was and what priorities were, but the prospective supervisor wasn't very reflective or forward-thinking. They even acknowledged that the role was largely about getting a paycheck. Was disappointed that there was no direct follow up from prospective supervisor despite a thank you email and even a question or two over a few weeks following the interview. Just received a notice from HR rep that Esri was passing me over but to keep looking for other opportunities. The position continues to be advertised and unfilled for maybe 5 months now.
