Pros

- Flexible work hours (some people don't even come to work) - No risk of being fired - Zero accountability (you can be lazy and no one cares) - Free Healthcare (for however long that holds up)

Cons

- Trying to sell like Salesforce (except without the commission or incentives) - Lazy people everywhere (you would think you were working at a government) - Career growth is about zero - Pay raises are 2-4% at best (make sure you get a good starting salary) I'm thoroughly convinced that the positive reviews are someone from Esri putting them on here. If you notice only the interns think this place is awesome. Trust me, having Esri is great on your resume, but don't come here if you're looking for advancement and career growth. There are pretty open about not commissioning their sales staff; which ultimately is perfectly fine That being said, then don't try to model your drive and processes like Salesforce. The people that work there get rewarded handsomely for their efforts.

Pros

Esri pays your health insurance. A few extra holidays that other companies may not offer.

Cons

-Below average pay for California. Already a struggle living out here due to cost of living. -Support services is a mess. We have to bend over backwards for customers always teetering on scope of support. Might as not even have those guidelines anymore if it's a constant battle for internal resources to back you. -Constant releases of software that breaks customer workflows. Too many bugs. Lack of QA. -Whats the point of middle management if all decisions have to come from higher ups that have no understanding of supports day by day. -Unwillingness to let senior employees work from home. And if you do work from home they hold it against you if you want to apply to an internal position. Almost like a thinly veiled threat. -Other teams feel the need to steam roll support sometimes, often leading to fragmented relationships. -Lastly there is way too much work and never enough people.
