Esri reviews

There is a disconnect between HR and Direct Department Supervisors. HR determines your pay and rate, and management seems to only act as your advocate in raises, promotions, and career advancement. Currently, in order to promote Sales Representatives must climb the ladder through SDR, ISR, Mid Market and then to Account Executive sector roles and this leads to a lot of turn-over and lack of employee value. It is a known theme that Esri does not pay competitively in the tech industry, even though they are the #1 GIS company in the market. They also do act like a tech company, remote work is not allowed unless on selective circumstances and on the job responsibilities are not balanced. You can have numerous projects you have to manage each quarter on top of your day to day time of sales phone que, emails, quotations, meetings, and administration tasks. Just never seems like you can have enough time in your day to feel you did your best, even with stellar time management skills.

Very antiquated development style, mediocre/incompetent colleagues, worst codebase I've seen, full of bugs, no standard. No product vision/product management, everything is hit or miss. If you are coming out of college and looking for growth, this is not the place for you. You can get the same pay in a decent startup that will accelerate your career.
