I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Esri in May 2016
Interview
I had very bad interview experience with ESRI. I received an email for an initial phone screen with a recruiter, within one week of applying for the position. However, I was not called for the phone screen even after 2 months of applying for it. The recruiter postponed the phone screen multiple times, making several different excuses. Then finally, the recruiter called me earlier than the scheduled time, when I was busy on another call, and never bothered to get back. They don’t seem to be interested in hiring candidates and it was a total waste of my time.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Esri (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Aug 2025
Interview
6 rounds, each round 1 hour, and at odd hours, for a company and compensation that do not justify it.
Worst interview I've ever given or seen.
And it is not succession round based, they will take all 6 rounds and then declare the result.
What a waste of time
Extensive interview process with multiple rounds, starts with an HR call, then chat with product owner. Then a technical interview with fairly easy questions then a multiple interviews testing thinking, behaviour and experience.
Got a call from HR to ask about my background. Later hiring manager scheduled a call. It was a mix of resume based and behavioral questions. Then onsite interview was set up. It was a negative experience. They think they are the only ones who are doing great work in the tech industry. Please do your research before applying.
