Pros

Overall Esri is a great place to work if you are planning on staying with a company for a long time. The benefits are really excellent and there are people from all over the world that work there. It is a very diverse and culture rich company where you can learn different things since there are people there with different backgrounds.

Cons

The one thing that I didn't like was having to wait 2 years before moving into a new position. If the position was available yet you were not tenured enough, then you wouldn't be able to get into that available position.

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.
