      Pros

      -Work-life balance means a lot here -Ability to take long vacations if desired -Benefits are better than average and transparent -Open communication with any team/unit in the company -Growing company -Very diverse workforce, unlike many tech companies -Many positions are paid hourly, allowing for more a flexible schedule when needed -Large percentage of new/vacated positions filled internally, so lots of room for vertical and lateral movement in theory -Much of leadership/management has been promoted from entry level and have been with Esri for 5-10 years -College campus-like environment -Geography-centric more than coder/programmer-centric

      Cons

      -Much of leadership has been promoted from a technical position of some sort and do not generally make good leaders, as few have any formal training or past leadership experience -You need to put in some time here to move forward, generally around 2 years but sometimes much longer. However once that is complete many doors can open up but may require going in a new technology direction, since many teams aren't very big and are very specialized -Redlands is a nice safe town but it's a bit of a "Esri island" as there aren't any similar tech opportunities nearby, and could seem boring to a young professional both professionally and socially -The main campus is a nice work setting similar to a college campus but not all positions work on the campus, even in Redlands. There are numerous satellite offices throughout town -Raises are small

      Pros

      Good benefits, full family health care coverage paid (mediocre insurance though). If you are hired at your current ability level you will be paid at the low end of the wage range due to the company's geographic isolation from the competition. If you work for a decent manager your work life will be good and mostly easy, if not, he or she will have the power to make it unpleasant.

      Cons

      If you accept a position below your ability level, you will never catch up to even the low end of the wage range inspite of any education and experience you possess or gain. It is very difficult to move around in the company and there is no preference given to employees for open positions within the company. No career path and no support from HR to find one. They talk about it but nothing is actually done.
