Excellent benefits, medical, dental, vision and other company discounts, including 401k profit-sharing, educational scholarship opportunities, and working with a highly talented pool of colleagues and general employees.

Cons

High turnover rates, excessive micromanagement, pigeon-holing into hired position with limited opportunities for advancement, strong reluctance and exceedingly long process to allow employees to internally transfer in-between departments/division.

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.
