Careers can be so much more than simply earning a paycheck – they can be a lifelong adventure full of purpose.
That’s why finding a company that aligns with your values and your passions is so important!
The environment you work in plays a direct role in the type of work you’ll produce and, ultimately, will impact how you’ll move forward in your career. If the company you are in doesn’t match your values, you might struggle to find purpose, passion, and motivation. But if you love the environment you’re in and find meaningful value in your work, then it will be easier for you to thrive in your career.
Passion is key to advancement. That’s why Esri’s Jennifer Laws (Lead Advisor – Natural Resources, Environment, and Geodesign), Taryn Fowlkes (Mid-Market Account Executive), and Joseph Efenecy (Technical Account Manager) want to share their experience at Esri and why working for a company that shares their values has helped them grow in their careers.
