      Pros

      Solid company with amazing benefits! Management team is extremely sharp and intelligent - all very highly educated. Advance degrees are held in high esteem and people are encouraged to seek out additional training or schooling. When I was there they were still offering tuition reimbursement and discounts at local universities.

      Cons

      Very flat structure. A bit of a pro, but people stay here for a Long time, which means if you want to move up, it's going to be after someone retires or leaves. If you are trying to advance into management you had better go in as a manager.

      We are happy to hear you had such a great experience. We proudly still offer tuition reimbursement and award several scholarships each year to Esri employees.

      Pros

      Cheap city, relatively safe neighbourhood, no traffic jam

      Cons

      Zero Growth, your coworker would be way less smart and less productive than those you will find in Bay Area, you will learn things slower since their code quality and project management are even worse than most of mainstream open source projects. Low paid, you can find a company that pays you six figures in Orange County or double your current salary if you move to bay area, I know they are expensive but paying half of what others would offer is definitly underpay

      Pros

      Learning GIS is by far the only pro of working at Esri.

      Cons

      Absolutely no attempt is made by management or HR to further any type of career advancement. Training is routinely denied. Any attempts to transfer to other departments will be denied. HR will always side with managers who have been there for decades despite the fact that they are liars. Management lying and manipulating is completely acceptable.
