      Pros

      Great benefits (health, dental, vision, life, 401k with match, profit sharing). Beautiful campus. Nice people. You probably won't get fired.

      Cons

      I wanted to love this company so much. Everything seemed great (see Pros), but the longer I was there, the more I felt like something isn't right at esri. It just feels sleepy. There's no energy (maybe for the User Conference, but if you're not involved there - meh). It just feels like everyone there is resigned to the fact that they need to stay their 6 (or is it 7?) years until they're fully vested. Trust me, that is an ETERNITY! It honestly seems like a fantastic place to retire from. There isn't a lot of stress. Not much is asked of you. You can keep developing in the same technology forever and no on will bat an eyelash. But after 2 or 3 years there, I doubt you'll be relevant anymore in the real world. Like I said earlier, I wanted to love esri, but in the end I was just bored. And the thought of staying there for 6 years seemed like torture.

      Going in the wrong direction.

      Pros

      Good benefits - medical, dental and vision. Decent 401K and paid holidays. There are still good, passionate people who want to make a difference working here. Paid by the hour, so if you work more, you get paid more. Most staff have individual offices which is nice. There is a great mix of cultures, folks from different countries.

      Cons

      Senior management has lost its way. CEO has lost touch with the staff especially software development. Software is lagging. People are afraid to confront the head of software development. Unable to bring in new creative programmers. Recently they demolished marketing. No one knows why. Lack of clear strategy and vision. Raises are small and even those who don’t work hard get raises. Difficult to move up unless you are part of the “boys club” Not great vacation benefits.
