As a value-driven company, our inspiration draws from our users' work to make the world a better place to live. Esri's technology supports initiatives such as education, sustainability, equity and social justice, science and disaster response. Our teammates come together from all walks of life to make big ideas happen, knowing that we're contributing to something bigger than ourselves.
Our supportive and inclusive culture encourages intellectual curiosity, goal setting, and professional development. Employees are encouraged to grow through formal training, furthering education, or challenging projects.
Jack Dangermond, Esri founder and CEO, refers to our organization as nodes in a network vs. boxes in a hierarchy. With an intentionally flat management style, employees have autonomy to recognize opportunities for Esri to be better and are empowered to create change.
We strive to build sustainably at Esri. With over 50 years of financial stability, our customer-focused approach encourages strong partnerships with users to enhance our technology in a way that better supports their missions. Through the work of our teammates, millions of users are able to make maps every day to shape the future of our world.
"Innovate and Adapt" is a core competency at Esri. While we find fulfillment in this work, we understand the importance of work-life balance. Esri employees have flexibility to care for their families, practice self-care, and balance their personal lives' responsibilities and interests.
Hear from some of our women leaders:
Esri is the global market leader in geographic information system (GIS) software, location intelligence, and mapping. Since 1969, we have supported customers with geographic science and geospatial analytics, what we call The Science of Where. We take a geographic approach to problem-solving, brought to life by modern GIS technology.
As a privately held company, Esri's main priority is to be in service to our users. We spend a third of our revenue on Research & Development to advance the technology. We focus on building sustainably to evolve based on what our users need.
At Esri, diversity is more than just a word on a map. When employees of different experiences, perspectives, backgrounds, and cultures come together, we are more innovative and ultimately a better place to work. We believe in having a diverse workforce that is unified under our mission of creating positive global change. We understand that diversity, equity, and inclusion is not a destination but an ongoing process. We are committed to the continuation of learning, growing, and changing our workplace so every employee can contribute to their life’s best work. Our commitment to these principles extends to the global communities we serve by creating positive change with GIS technology.
