Esri reviews

Definitely do not work here if you are looking to make money. Raises are low and the review process is very tedious. Good performance in your job does not necessarily translate into more money. Management can be hit or miss. At the top it is typically good, but middle management can sometimes be very unreliable and out of touch. There is also sometimes a palpable tension that develops between technical and non technical folks. Especially on the sales side. Career mobility is an issue as well. To change departments within Esri, even if you are very qualified and have manager approval, can be harder than an act of congress to get done. Promotions are rare, Esri will say they are a "flat" organization, but in reality they are just like any other company with a hierarchy of employees. Esri can also be very "cheap". This is good in that they are conservative but sometimes it comes across as being indifferent to the employees. Employees are regularly asked to share hotel rooms on business trips with other employees and expenses are overly scrutinized.

Effort needs to be compensated better.
