      How you gonna like working there, really depends on your manager and often whether he/she likes you.

      Pros

      Fun place to work if you love GIS or software development. The company's size and market penetration helps getting a lot of opportunities and feet in the doors. Some departments are more bleeding edge than others. Good 401K profit sharing

      Cons

      The company really likes to penny and dime their employees to a point where it probably costs the company more money in processes than the company saves. You rarely feel appreciated by the company. No bonuses, very rare (and cheap) company parties. Not much social life in general. Jack puts a big emphasis on equal opportunity for all employees, meaning you don't get any extra pats for doing an extra good job, because it's "unfair" to other employees.

      Review for Accounting Dep. and Corp.

      Pros

      ESRI is overall a good company. Stable job with good work-life balance for most of the positions. Salary level is average and health care package is fairly good. Most of the core employees worked there for years, and layoff had never happened so far. Most of the Sr. managements are nice.

      Cons

      ESRI is Jack, which means a huge uncertainty in the future. Sr. managements are very conservative. Since most of them are retiring, they are more concerning about their retirement plan rather than business. It is very hard to say how ESRI will change in 2-3 years. But for sure, ESRI will have a worse transaction than Apple after Jack retired, because ESRI is depending on Jack and his old management team too much.

      Pros

      Schedules are fairly flexible - many people choose their own work hours within reason. There is some flexibility for working from home (although not all the time). The workplace is fairly relaxed with a casual dress code. Coworkers are generally friendly and collegial. The company is stable, which is a very good thing in a down economy. They provide PPO health insurance and VSP (but you have to pay out of pocket for VSP for families of the employee). Also, you only get new glasses and lenses every 2 years instead of every year.

      Cons

      It is located in Redlands, which means that people either have to live in the Inland Empire or go through a long commute. Salaries can be significantly lower than for comparable positions in Los Angeles County or Orange County.
