Honest, transparent, there to help when needed.

Solid values rooted in the benefit of living creatures first, whether the users changing the world, the cities we're in, or the human societies and far beyond into all of the planet's ecosystems.

Do a better job at helping grow in my career

Consider promoting staff without degrees, they have just as much knowledge and experience as those that went to school over 30,40 years ago. It is elitist to not allow that.

Review from Admin Dept

Favoritism seems to be pretty frequent at least in my dept and building. I have heard that the rest of esri is better than my dept so I am trying to find a new team because as of now I do not have positive things to say about this company and how they treat their employees especially if they are poc

Review from Marketing Dept

Manage people effectively and provide coaching for improvement and development

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

We can easily add spouses and children to our insurance.

Review from Admin Dept · Posted 18 hours ago

Medical. Always getting a raise.

Posted 2 days ago

Health insurance because we live in a deeply flawed, horrific system where that is somehow on the employer and not the government.

Review from Business Development Dept · Posted 2 days ago

The health benefits are very good. The only negative about it is that we utilize UnitedHealthCare. While our company is trying to do something good by providing us with health coverage, UHC is doing everything it can to not cover us.

Posted 2 days ago

Healthcare premiums are paid for.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

I joined Esri as a fresher despite having 3 years of experience, working as a Senior Analyst, and holding multiple Esri certifications. Since then, my compensation hasn’t reflected my e

Posted a day ago

I've noticed that listings on LinkedIn for my role at other companies are paying considerably more. Also, the amount of PTO provided falls short of the tech industry standard.

Posted 2 days ago

After some years working in Esri, I feel the salary range and vacation/bank/sick leaves accrual is less when compared to other private companies in job market. It could be made much better.

Posted 2 days ago

I feel raises are not keeping up with inflation. I get good performance reviews, but the small increases in salary do not correspond with the ratings of my performance reviews.

Posted 2 days ago

I am doing the work that increasingly resembles a high-value/sr. technical solutions architect role while compensation is much closer to the lower end of the SE market. The level of responsibility and expectations has outgrown how I am compensated.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

Everyone has a unique background and experiences

Review from Admin Dept · Posted 18 hours ago

They are knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to help each other. There is a strong sense of teamwork, collaboration, and willingness to share knowledge.

Posted a day ago

Everyone I've worked with acts like we're all on the same team. No one is interested in taking all the credit. We want to get over the finish line together.

Posted 2 days ago

Closeness - most of the team has been together for a while. Freedom to explore software solutions within boundaries.

Posted 2 days ago

I like the people I work with.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

It doesn't have anything to do with them personally. I'm just new and awkward. It will probably fix itself in time.

Review from Operations Dept

They need to understand that we are a team and having a balanced workload supports that team best. When they hoard the work to promote themselves isn't conducive of a collaborative environment.

Review from Admin Dept

It feels too cliquey and not welcome to talk to anybody. They act as if they are too busy to be bothered to talk to you and interactions seemed forced.

Review from Marketing Dept

My department has some great employees, but other departments have some very lazy employees that don't seem to do much.

Review from Marketing Dept

Everyone on the Developer Experience team is very respectful. Results may vary across other teams.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Environment Reviews

1. Freedom to try new ideas. 2. Campus environment. 3. Ability to WFH for a few days a week.

Posted 2 days ago

The campus is beautiful and inviting.

Love the way GIS/location intelligence is integrated in every field of the society. The vibe in the User Conference every year is wonderful! Looking forward to many more years working in Esri with healthy scope of growth in my career.

Posted 2 days ago

The times when we lean into our impact, mission, and confidence are the reasons we flourish. When we trust each other. The times when we say "that's just the way things are," think as a corporate entity, or get tangled in monitoring and micromanagement are when we see conflict, insecurity, and ego.

Review from Business Development Dept · Posted 2 days ago

Everyone is valued and Esri makes it a point to be inclusive.

Posted 2 days ago

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Clearer individual visions to help achieve the overall vision. A lot of work is open ended, self motivated, and created. That work is barely tracked or compensated adequately.

Management is disconnected from reality. We receive no cost of living increases and our merit increases don't even keep up with inflation. New hires are making more than employees of over 15+ years experience. When complaints are made HR and Management fight over whose responsibility it is.

Review from Customer Support Dept

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

My interviews were all remote, however there were several rounds of interviews over a couple of weeks. I appreciated the flexibility in not requiring travel to be interviewed for the position.

Review from Sales Dept

I enjoyed being able to talk to several of my future coworkers and leaning from their experiences.

Review from Engineering Dept

The interviewers were intelligent and the questions were what is mostly done in the job

Review from Engineering Dept

There was a lot of communication throughout the process.

Review from Customer Success Dept

A lot of one on ones

What makes you most happy at work?

Outlook Reviews

Creating new s/w solutions. Having a good team to work with.

Posted 2 days ago

The few peers I've been able to connect with and get to know.

Posted 2 days ago

Respect and acknowledgement from my coworkers in every major project that I handle.

Posted 2 days ago

The elements of my job that allow for me to do my work as an independent, mature, adult, expert in my field give me professional satisfaction and passion for my duties. The elements that limit us, patronize us, surveil us, and ignore our needs/input/proven results make me frustrated and disengaged.

Review from Business Development Dept · Posted 2 days ago

Being able to work for a company that is actually trying to make the world a better place. Being even a small part of that is very fulfilling.

Posted 2 days ago

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Outlook Reviews

Favoritism and mean girl attitudes from middle management needs to stop.

Review from Marketing Dept

Company leadership does not have enough top down initiative, and as a result, there is often a lack of communication between teams, late in development emergencies, and a general lack of a shared direction.

workload, uneven work life balance

Review from Business Development Dept

In 30 years with the company, I've watched things change & not for the better. Benefits are great, pay's not commensurate with industry standards. The return to office mandate is counter to ESRI's professed concern for the environment. WFH worked; it's good for the planet & workers mental wellbeing.

Review from Customer Support Dept

I feel undervalued. Opportunities for career growth are limited and often shut down. New hires make more money than 7+ year experienced employees. Esri tries to justify low pay with "great" benefits but these benefits are industry standard. Also, I can't pay rent or buy groceries with benefits.
