Pros

- Great work life balance - People at the company are extremely friendly and supportive - The benefits of the company are great - I do feel like my management wants to see me succeed

Cons

- The pay should be better because they always tell us how well the company is doing but that doesn't get reflected in our salaries. - Changes are made very slowly and when they do actually happen, it doesn't seem like we have good change managers. - As middle management I don't have a lot of authority to make decisions. - Promotions take FOREVER, because of corporate approval. You can interview for a position and know you got the job but still have to wait sometimes over 5 months to actually step into the new role.

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.
