Freedom to build the products and business that the market wants. You'll notice lots of 20-30 year employees, So once you start you may find yourself staying.

Cons

Lots freedom means lots of ambiguity.... if you don't like the sound of that, well...also, may be a struggle to get the human resources you need when working in new markets

Pros

Great company culture ESRI is hoping to hire interns full-time A lot of other interns which gives you a community of people to explore the area with Professional development and commitment to intern experience (including a few staff members dedicated to you)

Cons

Hard to get an internship as an undergrad mostly dedicated for people who could easily get full-time jobs elsewhere Redlands, though it has its redeeming qualities, doesn't have too too much to offer
