Pros

Flexibility, challenging work, decent facilities

Cons

Ownership shielded from, and have lost touch with, reality, not a positive direction. Mgmt cover their ineptitude.Long term Inexperienced staff in management positions can't complete tasks or are totally out of touch. Minimal to no accountability. Gestapo like HR practices. Losing long time productive staff . 2 HR groups that don't see eye to eye Promotion based on who you know, not productivity or performance New performance review primarily subjective, no support needed for negative appraisals

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.
