Pros

1.Great health insurance. 2.Flexible work hours. 3.Low pressure and good balance of work/life.

Cons

1.Atrocious raises and base pay. No matter your seniority, your raises will be in the lower single digits. HR and the team will always find every crooked excuse in the book to not pay you what you deserve. A lot of good talent has left the company in the last 2 years due to this very reason. (Over 30% of my team left in the last 1 year over salary and raises). 2. Upper management lives in a shell and does not understand current trends. If you speak up on behalf of you and your colleagues, management pretends to care but gaslights you anyway. 3.Weird WFH rules. Some of the team members have no purpose being on campus and have individual jobs that can be accomplished from across the world without issues. Yet, HR makes them drive 2 hours, 3 times a week in the name of hybrid.

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.
