Pros

You can include dependents on your insurance

Cons

The owner of the company is extremely greedy and very old school. He has a reputation among certain staff of being very rude, temperamental, demanding, and toxic towards directors. Most high level staff have been at the company for decades and are only in the role because they were there from the start and got thrown into being managers even though they aren’t qualified. The company puts on a front to care about sustainability, equity, and progressive issues. If externals saw what happens behind the scenes they’d be disappointed. -if your role requires travel the company will not pay for all of your meals. It’s on your dime. - Very low pay in comparison to competitors - Time and a half is not provided. You have to document how you spend each hour of your day. You can work as many hours as you want but you don’t get over time, it’s just the same rate. - Very few employees can be remote - Bullying is a common management tactic - little to no diversity

Pros

Esri pays your health insurance. A few extra holidays that other companies may not offer.

Cons

-Below average pay for California. Already a struggle living out here due to cost of living. -Support services is a mess. We have to bend over backwards for customers always teetering on scope of support. Might as not even have those guidelines anymore if it's a constant battle for internal resources to back you. -Constant releases of software that breaks customer workflows. Too many bugs. Lack of QA. -Whats the point of middle management if all decisions have to come from higher ups that have no understanding of supports day by day. -Unwillingness to let senior employees work from home. And if you do work from home they hold it against you if you want to apply to an internal position. Almost like a thinly veiled threat. -Other teams feel the need to steam roll support sometimes, often leading to fragmented relationships. -Lastly there is way too much work and never enough people.
