Nice! And sometimes not nice. That's Esri.
Pros
-Chill and laid back work -Great interesting and kind coworkers -Good work life balance if you maintain healthy boundaries -Can work with some great customers -Comprehensive health benefits
Cons
-Subjective back to the office policy -Outdated PTO policies compared to competitors (start at 8 or 10 days and takes 5 years to increase to more days) - No pay increase for promotions (not immediately compensated when promoted to manager or other position) - Lack of transparency with merit increases (personal relationships play a factor more than just billability/performance review score) -Lack of equitable pay practices stifles growth and motivation - HR department lacks professionalism and competency (for scheduling meetings, interacting with the community, being transparent about updates & policies) -Generational divide (employees that have been around longer accept and advocate for outdated norms regarding pay/promotions/ benefits) -Some ethically dubious customers (arms manufacturers, big oil, militaries committing war crimes, etc.)
