I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Esri (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2024
Interview
45 minutes with the recruiter then referred to second interview onsite. Very well engaged with the team and the questions were very easy not difficult not technical questions. My one hour meeting went beyond that and seemed everything was going very well. At the end proposed also other areas for further consideration.
After two weeks the recruiter contacted me said that I didn't consider for the position which was surprising because the manager and I were very engaged and our conversation was getting very friendly toward the end of the interview.
The recruiter said that he was going to share feedback he received from the team internally based on the potential the team saw in me. Ever since, everytime I approach they have been try to evade me..
What the recruiter said about the potential the team saw in me in other area now it make sense to give me lolly pops to keep me calm!
The job that I applied for still is advertising and it shows me that they never going to hire anyone but getting data from candidates.
Their hiring process has always been like this!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you approach your customers and how do you study them?
Very professional with good communication and a good timeline of response. It’s quite a few interviews but it feels like you’re being appropriately vetted to be a good fit on a team.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Esri (Olympia, WA) in Jan 2026
Interview
A recruiter reached out and encouraged me to apply based on my background. After a basic screening call where we confirmed by background as being directly relevant (hence their encouragement to apply), "I'll reach out to you early next week". I sent a follow up email after a week. Ghosted. No courtesy email.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Esri (Louisville, CO) in May 2025
Interview
Straight-to-the-point 30min initial video interview with HR rep and then forwarded to prospective supervisor for 60min interview. The prospective supervisor was casual. There were a handful of questions that got us back into a more formal interview process in between chatter. These included behavioral questions including a couple of scenarios. There was also an open-ended question about how I would go about engaging the prospective account. I tried to get detail about what the supervisory style was and what priorities were, but the prospective supervisor wasn't very reflective or forward-thinking. They even acknowledged that the role was largely about getting a paycheck. Was disappointed that there was no direct follow up from prospective supervisor despite a thank you email and even a question or two over a few weeks following the interview. Just received a notice from HR rep that Esri was passing me over but to keep looking for other opportunities. The position continues to be advertised and unfilled for maybe 5 months now.
