Pros

None unfortunately, it has been my worst experience ever!

Cons

This company sent me an official job offer with a start date that they were supposed to be committed to and they made me leave my current job, but one day before the join date they contacted me telling me that they will postpone my join date for one week as they needed to do an international background check that I didn't know anything about I thought it's a regular background check, I don't know if it's a raciest thing because I'm not originally from the united states, but anyway they kept on postponing my join date for a full month saying that they need every single thing to be complete else they won't let me join, they asked for a paystub or a contract from every single employee I've worked with for the past 13 years, and I had to go through hell of calls to get them these data, and after submitting all the data they requested, they told me that they will get back to me after one extra week but it took them two weeks just to get back to me and their response was that they decided my job offer and that I can't join the company, without giving any reasons of why? though all the documents they requested I sent, and I tried reaching out to understand why did they decline me by calling them and sending them emails but they didn't get back to me! SO NOT ONLY DID THEY MADE ME LEAVE MY JOB AND KEPT ME HOLDING FOR A FULL MONTH WITH NO INCOME, THEIR CALL WAS TO JUST DECLINE THEIR OFFER AND LEAVE ME WITH NO WORK AND UNEMPLOYED, AND I HAVE A WIFE AND CHILDREN THAT THEY ARE TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FROM ME AND NOW I'M WITH NO INCOME THANKS TO THEM AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!! They just destroyed my family, thank you so much ESRI!

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.
