      How you gonna like working there, really depends on your manager and often whether he/she likes you.

      Pros

      Fun place to work if you love GIS or software development. The company's size and market penetration helps getting a lot of opportunities and feet in the doors. Some departments are more bleeding edge than others. Good 401K profit sharing

      Cons

      The company really likes to penny and dime their employees to a point where it probably costs the company more money in processes than the company saves. You rarely feel appreciated by the company. No bonuses, very rare (and cheap) company parties. Not much social life in general. Jack puts a big emphasis on equal opportunity for all employees, meaning you don't get any extra pats for doing an extra good job, because it's "unfair" to other employees.

      Good place for people who love challenges and don't like doing the same thing year after year.

      Pros

      The PEOPLE - very motivated, interesting, educated people. You get to work with the brightest minds in the GIS field from all over the world. Lots of challenging projects, and the abiltiy to move to different projects. ESRI gives $3000/year education benefits to everyone, plus they give several full scholarships to Univ. of Redlands every year through a competition.

      Cons

      Can be chaotic. Managers often change the goals in the middle of projects. You may have to work a lot of overtime, so it's no place for slackers. Communication between departments is lacking. Sometimes you find out that another department is doing exactly the same project you are doing. Each department acts like an independent company, sometimes competing with each other.
