Pros

Direct teammates are talented and fun to work with. High regard for accessibility practices. Flexible schedule and hybrid work environment. Communities of Practice for company-wide knowledge sharing and collaboration.

Cons

While you get paid for overtime which can also be banked as personal leave, the amount of accrual of vacation time per years worked could be better. Depending on the team/product you are on, you could experience micromanagement and burnout.

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.
