Pros

+ Stable company without debt + Good healthcare and 401k match + profit sharing + Privately held + Opportunities for advancement for those early in their career

Cons

- Career lattices are misused by managers and HR and negatively impact employee morale. Career lattices unfortunately reflect how long someone has been at the company, or HR trying to give an offer at a higher pay bracket to a new hire. They are not being used to reflect actual employee contributions to their team. - High performers keep leaving the company due to better pay elsewhere - Some long term employees coast and drag down team productivity but the company does nothing about this - Merit/cost of living increases are not keeping up with inflation

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.
