Pros

-Flexible hours* -Lack of micromanagement* -Excellent medical insurance -Standard 501K package -Annual profit sharing deposited in 401K -Opportunities to learn more about Esri technology, GIS, and other technology platforms *These vary depending on your position and your team. I personally know numerous coworkers on different teams who do not have flexibility and are very micromanaged.

Cons

-Lack of clear growth paths/opportunities for lateral position changes -Very poor annual leave and sick leave policies -Stressful environment (everyone in the company is hourly and there is a huge workaholic culture). If you want to work less than 45 hours/week, you do not want to work here. -Corporate level micromanagement -Culture of cliques (you have to be one of the cool kids)

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.
