Esri reviews

New employees are hired in at same rates as long term employees, although it is taboo to discuss your pay rate, general conversations happen. Payscales used to be visible, but they have hidden them. Management does not take into account your knowledge and will place you in same job category and level as co-workers with less knowledge, instead of putting you in an appropriate higher position and payscale. If promoted to a new position, they will only do this during review, even if you meet the qualifications to move to a higher position mid-year. Pushing hard to have employees come back into the office, with the exception of employees that were hired during pandemic as home offices, which means long term employees are not given same flexibility as new employees.

8 days PTO was painful to work with. Expect to be in the office with little WFH flexibility. No room for growth. Annual raises will almost always be below inflation. Very stingy with freebies. Regional offices are 10x worse than Redlands HQ. Working into a new role can take years, expect overtime and no guarantees. Not a good career investment.
