Pros

Esri has some pretty good benefits. -They have a pretty good low deductible PPO health care plan that they pay the premium for, it's the best healthcare plan I've had at a job. -After a grace period, you're eligible for profit sharing that gets put into your 401k. This is alongside the 50% of 6% match they do for the 401k. -Lots of PTO and holidays. It's like 40 hours sick leave, 12 holidays, and 10 hours accrued of vacation time a month. The work environment is very relaxed. -Generally working remote is allowed, and lots of people do it or hybrid. -The DC office is pretty modern and nice, they have basically offices for everyone it's cool. -I never feel stressed to work on something in time Secure position -They've never had a layoff -Many people work at Esri for many years. I think for the area, the salary is reasonable.

Cons

-Their HQ if you work there is kind of in an area I don't like, Inland Empire,CA. But that's just kind of my opinion. No good cities, too hot, too far from LA. -There can be a lot of communication issues at Esri between teams, some of that may just be due to the pandemic. -Some work can just really vary team by team.

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.
