Esri Reviews

Pros

Bank time. Salary employees are paid hourly and afforded the opportunity to bank hours at the end of a pay period (for any hours worked over the base hours of that pay period) or take the additional pay. Compamy culture is amazing. I feel like my values are well represented in this organization.

Cons

none that come to mind

Pros

Ability to learn and grow.

Cons

I can't think of many.

Pros

1.Great health insurance. 2.Flexible work hours. 3.Low pressure and good balance of work/life.

Cons

1.Atrocious raises and base pay. No matter your seniority, your raises will be in the lower single digits. HR and the team will always find every crooked excuse in the book to not pay you what you deserve. A lot of good talent has left the company in the last 2 years due to this very reason. (Over 30% of my team left in the last 1 year over salary and raises). 2. Upper management lives in a shell and does not understand current trends. If you speak up on behalf of you and your colleagues, management pretends to care but gaslights you anyway. 3.Weird WFH rules. Some of the team members have no purpose being on campus and have individual jobs that can be accomplished from across the world without issues. Yet, HR makes them drive 2 hours, 3 times a week in the name of hybrid.

Pros

Collaborative and relaxed culture, flexible working hours, flexible vacation policy (banking hours), company mission, horizontal growth opportunities, entrepreneurial spirit.

Cons

Limited opportunity for vertical growth. Lack of commission incentivizes below-average salespeople to stay and good ones to leave. Below average pay for industry standards (tech). No stock, and no bonuses.

Pros

Stable. Good pay. Good benefits.

Cons

Can be long hours. They want people to work a few days in the office but it seems like is is not followed by most staff. i think because most leaders don't do it themselves

Pros

Good mission on the surface. Generally nice colleagues Low pressure work environment

Cons

Culture: Lots of talk about good culture in reviews. What people really mean is that your teammates/colleagues are generally nice. But when you really look at the Culture carefully, which should come from senior leadership and HR, there is much to be desired. Bad behaviors are often not reported, ignored are dealt with in a way that doesn't correct the bad behaviors. No Career Path: Unless you are very junior you will quickly run into a ceiling. Career paths are not discussed and or formalized because there really aren't any. Low Pay/Raises: Expect to get low single digit pay raises regardless of your performance.

Pros

Company is very stable. Consistent work schedules. A lot of intelligent and kind people work here. Professional environment. Good work life balance.

Cons

Pay is lacking. They hire young grads fresh out of college and take advantage of their excitement about GIS and willingness to learn. Burnout is pretty common and support from management is limited. Growth opportunities can happen but not common for most folks. It’s a decent company but there’s a lot of room for improvement too.

Pros

Great Culture and fun work atmosphere Amazing software and company mission

Cons

Pay is incredibly low to the point you cannot afford a house or even to have children unless you take second job/side hustle. When I received calls from recruiters at other companies, one warned me that I will be lowballed for new opportunities because everyone is aware at how low Esri pays compared to market value. The company does not seem concerned in addressing this which is a shame because it is a great company overall.

Pros

Very solid privately owned company that has never had layoffs. Job security counts for a lot, especially in a tech field. Profit sharing every year I've been with Esri and 100% paid health care with low copay. A lot of flexibility with scheduling. Good paid time off. Work with smart, dedicated people. Possibility to move within the company. Esri has moved to partial work from home, a HUGE plus in terms of quality of life. Forward thinking/socially conscious. I feel well compensated for my experience/skill level.

Cons

HQ is in Redlands, and is Redlands-centric. For example, it is a bit out of touch with regional offices in terms of high cost of living in some areas. There can be little room for upward mobility in terms of job title on smaller teams and in general it's a "make your own career path" with no defined ladder (this could also be considered a pro). No full time work from home option for most people (given the environmentally aware nature of Esri this is a contradiction when it comes car car commuting that is prevalent) . Seem to fall down when it comes to proactively recruiting talent.

Pros

During interview-they promise the world that you will grow with them. Makes for a attractive package until.......................

Cons

You accept the position and......No matter how dedicated you are - ESRI ALWAYS wants more and pays you less and less.
