Pros

Beautiful area, somewhat decent salaries, a lot of nice people work there. The company provides a good product and decent benefits.

Cons

Owner is unprofessional and many times harsh to his employees. His wife is also quite emotionally unstable. Neither one is approachable and both run the company like a dictatorship showing favoritism openly to anyone who shares their point of view. People who disagree with them, quite often find themselves shunned or looking for new jobs. Most employees keep their heads down and their mouths shut. The company is infested with toxic leadership throughout which makes it difficult to offer input without repercussions. Many people become overweight or ill within a time of working there, due to the high expectations, lack of appreciation, toxic environment and excessive workloads. On some floors you are not permitted to speak without being asked a question. Upper management seems to stay 5+ years, but lower ranking positions have a high turn over. Sadly, this company is mostly out for itself and offers poor support for employees who need a voice.

We agree the Esri work environment is full of friendly and talented people. We recently rolled out a new speaker series for employees only. The goal of these events is to connect Esri employees with Esri leaders to communicate across the company what teams are working on and accomplishing.

Pros

Excellent benefits, medical, dental, vision and other company discounts, including 401k profit-sharing, educational scholarship opportunities, and working with a highly talented pool of colleagues and general employees.

Cons

High turnover rates, excessive micromanagement, pigeon-holing into hired position with limited opportunities for advancement, strong reluctance and exceedingly long process to allow employees to internally transfer in-between departments/division.
