      Pros

      ESRI is the best in their field. #1 in GIS. The competition can only offer a small portion of what ESRI has to offer.

      Cons

      They are privately owned and have organically grown into a Global organization. Not many processes are in place internally to support job success. Managment opinions are the only ones that count. The company touches on many Industries but are not true experts in any.

      Good place for people who love challenges and don't like doing the same thing year after year.

      Pros

      The PEOPLE - very motivated, interesting, educated people. You get to work with the brightest minds in the GIS field from all over the world. Lots of challenging projects, and the abiltiy to move to different projects. ESRI gives $3000/year education benefits to everyone, plus they give several full scholarships to Univ. of Redlands every year through a competition.

      Cons

      Can be chaotic. Managers often change the goals in the middle of projects. You may have to work a lot of overtime, so it's no place for slackers. Communication between departments is lacking. Sometimes you find out that another department is doing exactly the same project you are doing. Each department acts like an independent company, sometimes competing with each other.
