The emperor has no clothes sums up Esri. This company is so bloated with mediocre employees, it's almost hard to fathom for anyone who doesn't work here. Esri's software is beyond outdated and the founder is in some sort of denial that hurts the brain to hear the word "visionary" used to describe him. Esri has created an office park that they referred to as: "the campus". But unlike a real campus there are no new ideas happening here. In fact, there is no incentive to improve. No bonus, no rewards, no recognition for a job well done. There isn't even a free t-shirt given when you join, (you can buy one for $25 but first you have to share a room at the company conference if your manager approves you working at it). There is no joy working at Esri and once you get it, no other company wants anything to do with you.
