I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Esri (Charlotte, NC)
Interview
Over the course of seven weeks, I had five interviews for the Account Manager position. All of these were scheduled with less than 2 days notice. I was often not offered more than one time option. On one occasion I was told that the person that was going to interview me "might get pulled away for a call with the CEO and not be able to make it." ESRI expected me to leave my current job in the middle of the day to meet with someone who may not show up.
After my fifth interview, I was told that they would like to offer me the position, and an offer letter was being drafted. Since we had only spoken on Skype or over the phone since beginning the process, I asked if I could visit the office once before accepting the offer. They said yes. Over the course of the next several weeks, they failed to schedule a time, asking me to keep 2-3 different days during each week free (during the business day) so that I could meet when their team was available.
Despite their asking me to keep several times open during each week for three consecutive weeks, I was never able to visit the office. Finally, two days after another request by Esri to block off time for a potential office visit, I got a voicemail from HR saying that I would not be moving forward in the process.
Neither the HR contact nor the supervisor of this position could be reached to give me feedback after this process.
Early in these negotiations, I was very excited about the opportunity of working for Esri, but after this disorganized, drawn-out, and disappointing process (which validated many negative reviews I had read on sites like this), I feel that I have avoided a potentially disaterous career move.

Question 1
Watch this video and tell us what you notice. (Video about Esri products used to implement business analysis)
Very professional with good communication and a good timeline of response. It’s quite a few interviews but it feels like you’re being appropriately vetted to be a good fit on a team.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Esri (Olympia, WA) in Jan 2026
Interview
A recruiter reached out and encouraged me to apply based on my background. After a basic screening call where we confirmed by background as being directly relevant (hence their encouragement to apply), "I'll reach out to you early next week". I sent a follow up email after a week. Ghosted. No courtesy email.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Esri (Louisville, CO) in May 2025
Interview
Straight-to-the-point 30min initial video interview with HR rep and then forwarded to prospective supervisor for 60min interview. The prospective supervisor was casual. There were a handful of questions that got us back into a more formal interview process in between chatter. These included behavioral questions including a couple of scenarios. There was also an open-ended question about how I would go about engaging the prospective account. I tried to get detail about what the supervisory style was and what priorities were, but the prospective supervisor wasn't very reflective or forward-thinking. They even acknowledged that the role was largely about getting a paycheck. Was disappointed that there was no direct follow up from prospective supervisor despite a thank you email and even a question or two over a few weeks following the interview. Just received a notice from HR rep that Esri was passing me over but to keep looking for other opportunities. The position continues to be advertised and unfilled for maybe 5 months now.
