Great Career - Ended Badly

Pros

Awesome technology The teamwork around Esri was, maybe still is, very invigorating and positive when I started more than 20 years ago. And the concept of be interested, not interesting is invaluable. It was a very flat organization structure, and Senior managers were always available.

Cons

The environment is changing. Lately, I was graded on how interesting I was, in a negative way. Senior Management is now getting over obligated on outside meetings.

Pros

If you are driven and take pride in your work and want to make Quality software for millions of users, then this is a place to thrive. If you want to blend in and be beige like the building interior colors you can probably do that too and make a good living, but you will be noticed as such by your colleagues, rather than by the flat management structure (some of us call this culture). I'm sure you've all read reviews that were negative, but this place is really fantastic. My bosses always told me to make my own career here and that is what I've tried to do. It's worked out for me. -Benefits are great as well.

Cons

You accrue vacation instead of just getting 4 weeks on Jan 1 every year. There are some politics, but they aren't like national politics so it's not that hard to maneuver with common sense approaches.
