Pros

See cons ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Many billionaire worshippers have already added their reviews.

Cons

I worked with some of the most obnoxious programmers at my time in Esri. - a bunch of egoistic old-timers who think hazing new employees is cool. And how qualified were they? They pushed half a feature every release, so you tell me. The owner and his marketing team are always pushing the cool aid on racial equity and how they work to protect the environment, climate, etc., . But the truth is Esri makes most of it's money from law enforcement (policies, border patrol), big oil and mining corporations. The staff diversity at the HQ does not reflect the community it operates out of. And it gets worse as you look at the top of the organization chain. Unlike other big software corporations, barely any code is open-source. Maybe because Esri's software sucks?
