Pros

-Flexible hours* -Lack of micromanagement* -Excellent medical insurance -Standard 501K package -Annual profit sharing deposited in 401K -Opportunities to learn more about Esri technology, GIS, and other technology platforms *These vary depending on your position and your team. I personally know numerous coworkers on different teams who do not have flexibility and are very micromanaged.

Cons

-Lack of clear growth paths/opportunities for lateral position changes -Very poor annual leave and sick leave policies -Stressful environment (everyone in the company is hourly and there is a huge workaholic culture). If you want to work less than 45 hours/week, you do not want to work here. -Corporate level micromanagement -Culture of cliques (you have to be one of the cool kids)

Pros

You can meet people who are passionate to change the world, do the best for their clients. They can change the world. Work life balance can exist if you want it. Quiet town, great place to raise a family or carry on a quiet life but close enough to LA and outdoor activities

Cons

Teams can be a bit siloed off from each other. Politics can get in the way. Teams outside of development teams may not feel empowered.
