Pros

The benefits are good and the pay is decent. Esri used to be a nice place to work.

Cons

There is no opportunity for advancement. Since the installation of a new HR director, management has started treating employees like children. In my department three long term employees, each with over 10 years experience have quietly disappeared after visiting building F.

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Hardware, software resources provided to do your job. Best place to work, from technical standpoint, if you are interested in GIS.

Cons

Growth depends on personal interest. ESRI will make limited effort in pushing you to do better. Managers get to attend all kinds of conferences, whether they really need to or not, but employees that actually use technology in day to day work are often ignored. Horrible pay rates. Upper level management oblivious to middle management's whims, partial behavior based on nationalities, mis-treatment of employees.
