Pros

Employees get paid well with a decent salary and performance-based pay. In addition the company offers attractive benefits consisting of medical cover, pension and daily lunch. The working environment is conducive with an open floor plan, spacious desks and a modern computing infrastructure. The work interesting due to a variety of customers and dynamic changes in the products and services that the company offers. Employees have easy access to learning materials and the company's inhouse learning center.

Cons

Lack of clear long-term business strategy creates uncertainty about career prospects within the organization and the lack of qualified and experienced managers hinder the growth of new employees. The customer base consists mainly of government. This creates financial uncertainty due to delayed payments and loss of motivation since government is difficult to work with.

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.
