Pros

Great coworkers willing to collaborate and learn together. Great learning opportunities Insurance is not deducted from wages Great entry level wages. Front line Leadership that is supportive and communicative. High quality infrastructure and hardware to support job requirements. Great sense of purpose. Great work life balance for most teams.

Cons

Low wages once past entry level if promoted within. Very slow not even up with inflation wages growth rate if promoted within or retained. Very fast pace of learning required in order to be successful. Occasional pockets of jury rigged legacy systems left without a plan for proper replacement. System in place for professional growth of employees is a template that doesn't seem to actually be used for anything beneficial to the employee. Only seems to be used for getting a paper trail on failing employees. Professional growth of your own is left unrecognized, unrewarded, and uncompensated. But strongly encouraged to obtain. Seems that the only way to progress within is to turn down promotion offers that offer minimal pay increases and potentially get labelled the troublemaker, or leave the company and apply again from external to get reasonable wage offers.

Pros

Everything is great about Esri, the stable life, benefits, pay is okay.

Cons

Management and HR refuse to give what their employees want especially after Covid. Working from home. Most of us have been working from home for almost 2 years (with no problem) and they still do not want to consider working from home even as a hybrid model. I think its entirely ridiculous to go back to 100% capacity when Most of us individuals may or may not live with high risk individuals.

Pros

Pays well, relative stability, budget for IT (not InfoSec) usually not an issue.

Cons

Information is necessary evil. It's a private company with no accountability. Very bad security practices, no reason to change. The majority of their code is regularly stole by bad actors outside the company and no real action take to stop to flow. They only want to appear to implement security. They have almost unlimited budget but will not make and difficult process changes to secure their business. Regular disclosures are covered up.
