Pros

ESRI is a good place for freshers. You can really be creative and make up your own career path. If you are self starter who is willing to take initiative ESRI is a good place to work. The people at ESRI really take lot of pride working there. ESRI is a consitently growing company

Cons

ESRI has a very flat hierarchy and if you are not self motivated you can really loose you way. Sometimes the difference between people who really work hard and those who take up offices is not very evident. This could be a real demotivator. It is very traditional conservative company where change happens very slow.

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.
