Pros

Excellent healthcare Good 401k profit sharing Opportunities for formal training Access to resources and software that makes the job easier Mostly kind, smart, and passionate colleagues Good work life balance and flexibility

Cons

Laughably low pay. Toxic leaders that openly discriminate against women, BIPOC, and Junior employees. Unresponsive HRBPs. Avoidance of key business processes because employees are encouraged to be entrepreneurial. Ethically irresponsible contracts with oil, defense, and arms customers. Mission is contrary to what is experienced. Overloaded, burnt out employees and on the other hand employees who don’t pick up the slack. No accountability mechanisms whatsoever. Boys club and nepotism will hold you back from upward career trajectory no matter how qualified and enthusiastic you are. In fact, this company will use your enthusiasm and passion as leverage.

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.
