Esri reviews

Well...first off their new post covid policies require you to move to Redlands, an absolute dead spot if you're in your 20s, expensive and they don't pay enough to keep up with cost of living and inflation. I appreciate the move to in person, but it can't come at that much of a cost, not worth it. Management depends on your team, I thought my manager was great at first, then I could see their shortcomings of being a new manager (They were promoted to a manager as soon as I was hired): low level of support, constantly asking superiors on how to lead, not to mention an unfair team dynamic (Esri pretty much picks and chooses who gets to work in office, remote, different locations) very inconsistent with teams. They moved me across the country and for 3 years I was sitting in an office while essentially my entire team were working from remote locations, I got very little in person support. They like to brag about employee appreciation when in reality they don't REALLY care. Not to mention you'll basically be stuck in your position for years unless you get lucky to move up. ESRI have also been cutting costs, what was once a company wide attendance for the User Conference has now been diminished to a few senior positions per team, which is ridiculous in my opinion. They also have very little training resources, but again, this depends highly on which team you're a part of. TLDR: The culture sucks. But if you're okay with living in Redlands and drink the company kool aid, this place could be for you.
