Pros

Great mentors and genuinely great people. The job is not overly demanding of your time and allows for you to still have a life and family time. Strong team oriented community culture. Job allows you freedom to explore the solution and learn from 500 other smart people with an open door policy. Lots of collaborations between teams and individuals. Great place to learn about software and other interesting aspects of life. The users are engaged with the growth of the software and are continuing to imagine great things.

Cons

Pay is low for what the local housing market is demanding. New arrivals may have a tough time buying a local house. Maybe remote work could be a benefit here?

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.
