Pros

Great people to work with, nice offices (if you are lucky enough to get one before they run out), good benefits (401, medical and dental), beautiful campus, nice pond and cafe to eat lunch at.

Cons

Definition of dead end job. Tiny raises across the board, corporate is out of touch with employees and competitors, only 5 sick days per year! Dead weight in the department I worked in. Men who have been there for years taking advantage of their “work from home” luxury or sleeping in their offices. Morale is down on many teams.

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.
