First, is an initial phone screen describing company and job with a few basic personality and experience questions. Next, is a technical phone interview, which can be daunting but is designed for you to think on your feet and adapt. Third, another, more detailed phone interview about experience and goals, and esri culture. Finally is an all day on site interview that consists of multiple interview styles. These include basic personality and experience questions, writing test, problem solving and riddles, and technical skills.

Typical interview questions (you can google HR interview questions: tell me about yourself, what are your strengths/weaknesses, few situational problems) + ESRI background (founder, HQ, what esri does) + GIS info (what is GIS, software arcGIS)
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Esri in Feb 2016
Interview
Great interview process. I went through 5 interviews before receiving an offer. The first 2 interviews were over the phone, the next two were over skype and the last one was once again over the phone. It is lengthy and took me about 5 - 6 weeks from online application to job offer. Everyone during the process was kind and showed genuine interest in finding the right person for the position.
