Pros

Southern California. That's about it.

Cons

Cost of living, lack of respect, gestapo HR, or should I say two HR departments. Jack has his 2.2 billion dollars in the bank from the work of the early employees, but he let the gestapo HR destroy the families that made him rich just because they got sick and Jack is self insures his employees. So if you get sick or have a child that gets sick that costs money, you will pay dearly for it. They will terminate your position and put you in a department that you have no experience and will not train you, then HR will rack up the violations.. This my friends, is after a 22 year "perfect record" of employment.

Pros

Very interesting business. Flexible hours. Talented people. This is a great company for the first 5 years of your career after college.

Cons

Archaic management that favores politics. Mount people against each others. Directors behave like parents and treat employees like children. There is no career plan or career management. Managers have no management training. Creativity is going down. Managers steal ideas with no shame. Company culture is going down. Esri is privately owned with the owner/CEO getting close to 70. Key directors are over 60. People who are telling the emperor that is not naked are rewarded.
