Pros

- Purpose-driven company with best-in-class technology - Large, matrixed organization gives you the opportunity to learn new things constantly. - Many of the "rock stars" of GIS work here, and with such a casual and approachable environment, there are plenty of opportunities for learning and mentorship.

Cons

- The marketing organization is experiencing growing pains, and scrambling to compensate for management challenges by doubling down on processes. - Would like to see more collaborative leadership in marketing - less playing into toxic politics and more encouragement of teamwork, feedback, and innovation. - Marketing management extends very little trust to its teams, leading to micromanagement and little flexibility to create the quality of work you desire.

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.
