Pros

Solid company with amazing benefits! Management team is extremely sharp and intelligent - all very highly educated. Advance degrees are held in high esteem and people are encouraged to seek out additional training or schooling. When I was there they were still offering tuition reimbursement and discounts at local universities.

Cons

Very flat structure. A bit of a pro, but people stay here for a Long time, which means if you want to move up, it's going to be after someone retires or leaves. If you are trying to advance into management you had better go in as a manager.

We are happy to hear you had such a great experience. We proudly still offer tuition reimbursement and award several scholarships each year to Esri employees.

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.
