I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Esri in Oct 2017
Interview
I applied through the college career fair. I got a call to come in for the interview the next day. The interview was mainly on telling them about myself and projects. Nothing technical. In the end the interviewer told me that it'll take them a month to come up with a decision and that I should also apply online. After that I did not receive a single piece of communication from them despite follow up emails. It's been about 1.5 months. I just keep checking the status on the portal and keep getting declined for the jobs I apply. So my question is what is the point or advantage of being interviewed?
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
Extensive interview process with multiple rounds, starts with an HR call, then chat with product owner. Then a technical interview with fairly easy questions then a multiple interviews testing thinking, behaviour and experience.
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.
