I applied online. I interviewed at Esri in Feb 2016
Interview
The process was lengthy, took about 6 months total. I applied online, about 2 weeks later I was contacted by HR and had a phone interview. 1 hour, general questions like why I wanted to work for Esri and why I left all of my previous jobs. Then it took 2 whole months before I heard back. I had a second phone interview with a couple of engineers, then I got invited for an on site interview. The on site one was a full day, 8 hours without a break. It was absolutely exhausting but I wouldn't call it hard. And the amount of information and insight I got from talking to so many people was totally worth it. First was a skill drill, pretty basic stuff, once I got a hold of my nerves I was ok. You need to be comfortable writing and debugging code in front of others. Then just met with everyone, 2 people at a time for about 1 hour each. All regular interview questions about past projects, etc.
