Pros

Schedule is flexible, and my job is not stressful. Most of my colleagues are nice and competent. They seem invested their employees growth if you're willing to ask for a move to a different role.

Cons

This might vary between departments, but the atmosphere can be a little to sleepy for my taste. Not a great environment for extroverts. Sometimes, company seems driven more on producing new features than controlling the quality of what they've already made

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.
