Pros
- Very low hours (8 hours per day, if that, many work 4-6hr shifts with impunity) - Software sells itself (if you're in a sales position) -
Cons
- Travel dept takes 1+ month to reimburse travel expenses (often ranging higher than $1000, which you won't have available for the next required trip: Esri is a $10B company, by the way, but can't reimburse you in a timely manner). - Lazy staff - working 8 hours is a herculean effort for many of the staff at Esri due to broken culture. - Toxic, very untrustworthy management. - Tons of bureaucracy & unnecessary process to accomplish simple tasks (ex. sending a quote requires two+ divisions, apparently) - Low pay compared to industry standards. - HR department is operated completely without integrity. - Cult-like 'culture' makes employees fear resigning, regardless of how terribly they're treated.
