      Software Engineer Interview

      23 Jan 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Redlands, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at Esri (Redlands, CA) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      I interviewed with Esri for a frontend dev position in their Redlands office. First round started with a standard recruiter interview. Standard questions about why you want to work there, background, how would you handle certain situations etc. This was followed by a technical interview, where you had to solve some basic coding challenges in Javascript. I was also asked to create a small project using a JS framework of my choice and their JS API. This was a lot of fun. 2nd round was on-site at their Redlands office. It is a full day of interviews (8 Hours) with a total of 16 people interviewing you interrupted by a lunch in the cafe. It involved technical interviews (a coding challenge, testing of your technical knowledge), a wireframing exercise, review of your projects on github, some behavioral questions. It's good to get exposure to a wide array of people during these interviews, but 8 hours is a bit too much in my opinion. Because the interviewers were also from teams that I probably would not be working with just made it more complicated. Generally, I would have liked a bit more background from the recruitment team on how to properly prepare and what to expect for the on-site day. Also 8 hours of interviews is wasteful of everybody's time. I think a full morning plus a lunch would suffice. Finally, Esri was very slow to reimburse me for my expenses made during the trip down to Redlands. I had to constantly contact them about it. It took a few months before I was finally properly reimbursed. Big minus on their account for that.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Many Javascript-related questions. They really look for deep knowledge of the language. Closures, hoisting, IIFEs, older methods such as bind and call, destructuring etc.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Gurgaon, Haryana
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Esri (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Aug 2025

      Interview

      6 rounds, each round 1 hour, and at odd hours, for a company and compensation that do not justify it. Worst interview I've ever given or seen. And it is not succession round based, they will take all 6 rounds and then declare the result. What a waste of time

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Esri

      Interview

      Got a call from HR to ask about my background. Later hiring manager scheduled a call. It was a mix of resume based and behavioral questions. Then onsite interview was set up. It was a negative experience. They think they are the only ones who are doing great work in the tech industry. Please do your research before applying.
