Pros

Competitive pay Amazing benefits Freedom to innovate Focus on teamwork and cross-sector collaboration Healthy financials Care deeply about their employees Privately owned Strong company mission and values

Cons

Little direction on growth and opportunities. There's a lot going on in a lot of departments. There's a pretty long runway to get acclimated to your role. It seems as though under performers aren't pushed out often enough. More of a Silicon Valley, sit on the roof situation.

Thank you for your feedback. Esri strongly supports career growth for its employees and this has been an area we’ve focused on more significantly over the last few years. We want to see you explore new opportunities and contribute in new ways when the time is right, whether that’s within your current division or with another team. At Esri, career growth is not always defined as a “move up”—it can also mean taking on additional responsibilities within your current team or managing larger accounts. We encourage you to reach out to your HR business partner to determine what career growth at Esri might look like for you.

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.
