      Account Manager Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Esri

      Interview

      I have interviewed for a couple of positions with ESRI and, overall, the interview process will be incredibly long unless you tell them you have other offers that you're considering. I find their interview process in itself to be the most ridiculous and unnecessary approach. They make you interview with the entire team and this could vary in number. For example, I interviewed with 15-20 people in pairs over the course of two days. You'll start with a basic HR interview and then progress to individuals within the team, and these are scheduled weeks apart. Additionally, they always claim that they're about "fit" - which I've found to be a very vague term. I don't even think they can describe it. Since they're about fit, too, you'll find that several job postings will be listed for months at a time, perhaps even a year, because they're more interested in "fit" and waiting for the "best" candidate. While this seems nice at first, it's more disastrous for ESRI because they'll turn down a lot of qualified, perfectly capable, candidates while they look for the magic perfect"fit" person. I think their idea of fit is subjective, wouldn't you say? In the interviews themselves, I found pockets of very helpful and personal individuals and a fair share of rude, arrogant individuals. I've had folks ask me if I knew the job I was applying for and specifically tell me that if I didn't have any questions that directly pertained to the individual interviewing me that I was wasting their time. I always research the individuals I'll be speaking with as best I can so I can come prepared to ask tailored questions, but for them to deliberately say this to me was very offputting. I was also told last minute that I would be interviewing which didn't give me a lot of time to prepare. Specifically, I was asked at 8PM to interview with folks at 9AM the next morning. I believe there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance - and several people that I've spoken to within the company cross that line and are very snooty ESRI's service. I encourage future applicants to read reviews here, as well. I will reiterate a comment made by another reviewer from this position, and that is to say that I believe ESRI would have been a disastrous career move for me. They do not align with my career goals, and at the very least, I would rather work with individuals that are personable and humble - NOT arrogant.

      Interview

      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.

      Application

      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.

      Average interview

      Application

      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.
