Pluspunten

Opportunities to learn There are some good employees They started letting us eat lunch outside last year!

Minpunten

- very bad benefits: there is no paid parental leave, the medical coverage is weak (with only one plan option), everything is at your expense except for short term disability (which is new this year), not a lot of PTO for new employees, and WFH was not widely allowed until COVID. -low pay: everyone I know that has left has easily jumped $10-15k. -no respect for employees: the biggest example of this is that everyone was working from home during COVID. The day that the state allowed people back to the office, Dish started bringing people back. Many people had no say and were forced in despite being very uncomfortable. Leadership continues to put out messages that the reason is for collaboration, even though collaboration was happening remotely and people aren’t allowed to collaborate in person in the office anyway. They keep pushing a message that everyone is super happy to be back, which is absolutely not the case. People don’t want to risk their lives just because Dish decided that butts need to be in seats. It is all about hitting that 50% quota, not making sure people feel safe. -leadership micromanages: directors and above constantly ask for reports on what everybody is doing and say it’s for prioritization purposes, rather than just trust managers to make the right decisions here. They track your time in office with a badge report. They want you to hit 42.5 hours in office. I’ve heard about people that have been told to take pto rather than badge in late on snow days, and many aren’t allowed to just work from home even though their positions are very capable of being done from home. -no respect for PEOPLE: layoffs happened yesterday with absolutely no warning. People felt ambushed by the news and then leadership tried to sweep it under the rug rather than own that it happened. No reasons were given as to why or how the people selected were selected. It just got blamed on COVID even though the message all along has been that we aren’t doing that bad. People got locked out of their computers without warning before even getting to say goodbye to anyone. It was not handled with dignity whatsoever.

Pluspunten

Good middle management and compensation. Lots of opportunities to learn from plenty of smart people.

Minpunten

Disclaimer -This is all water cooler hearsay and opinion. During the two years I was there the bill came due on being penny wise and dollar dumb over the years. A great example is Sling. Dish beat basically everyone to market but Netflix with streaming and was the first platform to offer live TV via stream (which YouTube TV still uses as a selling point). What happened? Dish paid the original engineers to build it and then balked at paying them to document and maintain it. Same deal with the cyber security team. After years of expecting security engineers to do exceptional work shorthanded for middling compensation eventually they had none. It was all put on the security manager, who had a heart attack after repeatedly requesting support. He understandably did not return. Not much later one of the core systems was ransomed, and the company fell out of the fortune 500. Despite being in the middle of dealing with the consequences of those decisions leadership was doing it all again with the mobile network build out.

Hearing that you found value in our middle management and compensation, as well as the chance to learn from the talented individuals on our teams, is encouraging. We appreciate you recognizing those aspects of your time with us. On the other hand, the historical context and concerns you shared regarding executive decision-making, infrastructure maintenance, and resource allocation are deeply concerning. Maintaining a stable, secure, and well-supported environment for our workforce is of the utmost importance, and we take feedback regarding employee well-being and operational decisions seriously. We are continually working to strengthen our operations and better support our teams across all business units. Because this review references a sensitive medical situation alongside organizational challenges, we would welcome the opportunity to hear more about your perspective. Please consider reaching out to our team directly at peopleoperations@dish.com so we can learn more.
