Esri reviews

Middle management is clueless with no vision. Middle management remains detached from reality and is just there to make sure Jack's priorities are being executed on. Lower management is hit or miss, and unfortunately the misses heavily out weigh the hits. The company is located in a pretty bad city, with high crime and some of the highest pollution in the US. Combine that with poor raises and no upward growth in your position even if you excel and you have a recipe for high turnover, losing the most skilled employees and leaving only the slackers who stick around because they can't work anywhere else.

Hmm .. ok where do I start.. Absolutely zero career path so make sure you get in with a nice title and a package because you are not going to stay in that level forever, no promote from within mentality.. Though market leaders but not technology leaders, new ideas, designs, best practices are scoffed at by your direct supervisors who doesn't want to come out of their comfort zone.. Federal office mentality where people just do what it takes to survive or please Scott, who runs the company though Jack owns it.. Everything catches up late with esri - development methodologies, design(if there is one,we developers just do what we feel is right), best practices, consumption models, business plans, sales plans this is even after seeing other small and big companies successfully outperform them, hence stuck in 90's mindset.. REDLANDS is a big con.. Company is only suitable for people who wants to be comfortable without being challenged much and survive and get a paycheck at the end of the day, very bad for people looking for exciting challenges & opportunities..
