Pros

Some management have good intentions and are accommodating Depending on your team, you may have some flexibility Medical is paid for and is decent Campus is beautiful, especially for being in Redlands. Profit sharing- 401k annual contribution

Cons

Very little opportunity for moving up - they will just continue to add responsibilities to you without compensation or changing your title so as not to have to give a raise. VERY low annual raise (no cost of living increases either) Extremely negative view of changing policies from corporate and staff "It's how it has always been done" Most upper management/director level staff have been around since the beginning and are "friends of Jack". Questioning them is unheard of. Micromanaged by corporate... nothing can be done at all without corporate approval (staff are afraid to ask for some things for this reason) Very little trust in employees- Remote work was not really a thing prior to Covid and even then, they did not want to allow it. EXTREMELY POLITICAL... If you are not 100% Democratic, I would not recommend working here.

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.
