I applied online. I interviewed at Esri (Redlands, CA) in Aug 2020
Interview
The interview process was extremely long and there is no justification for such a lengthy process with an entry level position.
I had applied to positions that required a college degree. I am a student and completing my degree as we speak. The recruiter told me, everyone told me, that I have amazing skill sets. I was in 2 different branches of the military and I'm a professional nurse.
They told me to apply to one of the few jobs that doesn't require a degree, customer service.
I applied, interviewed 6 times over 4 months only to get a call from the recruiter saying they gave the entry level position to a candidate with a college degree! Insulting and not veteran friendly, 8 years in the military should outweigh a paper diploma every day of the week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to highlight my transferable skills.
Very professional with good communication and a good timeline of response. It’s quite a few interviews but it feels like you’re being appropriately vetted to be a good fit on a team.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Esri (Olympia, WA) in Jan 2026
Interview
A recruiter reached out and encouraged me to apply based on my background. After a basic screening call where we confirmed by background as being directly relevant (hence their encouragement to apply), "I'll reach out to you early next week". I sent a follow up email after a week. Ghosted. No courtesy email.

Question 1
Do you have any direct experience in this particular vertical. Answer: yes.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Esri (Louisville, CO) in May 2025
Interview
Straight-to-the-point 30min initial video interview with HR rep and then forwarded to prospective supervisor for 60min interview. The prospective supervisor was casual. There were a handful of questions that got us back into a more formal interview process in between chatter. These included behavioral questions including a couple of scenarios. There was also an open-ended question about how I would go about engaging the prospective account. I tried to get detail about what the supervisory style was and what priorities were, but the prospective supervisor wasn't very reflective or forward-thinking. They even acknowledged that the role was largely about getting a paycheck. Was disappointed that there was no direct follow up from prospective supervisor despite a thank you email and even a question or two over a few weeks following the interview. Just received a notice from HR rep that Esri was passing me over but to keep looking for other opportunities. The position continues to be advertised and unfilled for maybe 5 months now.
