All the world's a stage - Gbd Esri Employee Review

Requires constant theater and almost nothing makes sense strategically or ethically. More important to have a reputation for being a yes-man than it is to actually get work done, so plan to spend more time building internal slide decks about how great you're doing than you do actually doing impactful work or helping customers. Excessively detailed core competencies that are enforced in an inconsistent way along gender and exempt/non-exempt lines, based almost entirely on how much your direct manager likes you. Uses young, unexperienced employees to do the majority of the real labor in office 5 days a week while leaders who seem to lack any social awareness call into meetings virtually from their home offices and drop corporate jargon and double-speak until it quite literally makes you start to question reality. Expect working here to damage your health and to watch top performers be burnt or managed out one after the other while big talkers get promoted. Failure to get with the times re: fair industry pay, transparency, and social issues. Asks for feedback and then punishes anyone idealistic enough to think they really want it. Abyssmal change management and shifting goal posts due to in-fighting between leaders.
