Pros

Stable company, decent benefits, co-workers are willing to help, when needed.

Cons

New employees are hired in at same rates as long term employees, although it is taboo to discuss your pay rate, general conversations happen. Payscales used to be visible, but they have hidden them. Management does not take into account your knowledge and will place you in same job category and level as co-workers with less knowledge, instead of putting you in an appropriate higher position and payscale. If promoted to a new position, they will only do this during review, even if you meet the qualifications to move to a higher position mid-year. Pushing hard to have employees come back into the office, with the exception of employees that were hired during pandemic as home offices, which means long term employees are not given same flexibility as new 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.
