Pros

-Great Technology for Power Users and Business Partners -Great Benefits -Financially Stable -Internal Travel Agency -Training Opportunities (software and professional) -No real expectations for outstanding performance

Cons

-Pay is 20-40 percent below market for similar positions. Stay here too long and people wonder if you are crazy. -Hourly pay is abused by so many, particularly senior staff. No accountability -Account Managers are treated like outside sales, but there are no commissions or bonuses -Annual raises are around 2%. -Incentive to get things done quickly is not there; no sense of urgency -There are zero opportunities for advancement. You are pigeon holed the day you are hired. -Company lacks a long term business strategy and vision. -Most senior leaders came from government and lack the business knowledge (not responsible for profit/loss) to grow the company. Serious leadership issues.

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.
