Pros

Great benefits, many people from different backgrounds to work with which enables you to learn more than just the technical aspects of the job. The owner, Jack, does a great job of making sure his employees get what they deserve as far as benefits and team building events goes.

Cons

It takes 2 years before you are able to move to a different position you are well qualified for, which makes growth somewhat of a chance type of game, like Russian roulette. There are too many groups and not enough managers to manage all of its team members, making it hard for the team/lead manager to be able to review your performance.

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.
