I applied online. I interviewed at Esri in Apr 2020
Interview
The process was lengthy but that's because Esri really want's to know who they are interviewing. You also get a chance to meet a handful of people through the process.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Esri (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
I was approached by a recruiter & successfully aced three telephone interviews, each with different levels of security personnel within ESRI. Then, the last step was to interview with a security Director at ESRI. I had aced the previous interviews, and the recruiter was sure that I'd ace the completion interview as well. It seemed like a great company with a cool mission and awesome technology. But there is more to come.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q. For the phone interview with the Director, he asked me 'how are you?' that was the only question during the entire interview. I know, because I took notes.
