Good place to work for most.

Pros

Esri is a great place to work. They offer great benefits, local amenities at a discount, the campus is beautiful and most people are glad to work there.

Cons

The downside of Esri is the ability to move around internally. You have to stay at the position you're hired in for a minimum of 2 years before you can transfer (at least for Customer Service). Additionally, if you're too good at your job then you may have a hard time transferring once your 2 years are up since you need your own manager to give you permission to move. The actual work, as a Customer Service Rep, is brutally unfulfilling as well unless you have lots of special projects you're working on to get you away from your desk.

We appreciate hearing your thoughts. Esri does support employees moving to other areas in the organization where they can add value. This is a great discussion to have with your HR business partner. If you are interested in expanding your skills, check out the training options on Compass.

Pros

Great benefits, positive and friendly work environment, annual raises variable dependent upon performance, fair evaluations, and opportunity to learn and expand skill sets and achieve technical certifications.

Cons

Limited internal mobility to change positions within the company unless willing to relocate to Redlands, CA. Like most companies, your work experience will vary dependent upon your manager - so far I have only had excellent managers.
