Pluspunten

The good: benefits are fair, looks good on a resume, if you can make it 2 years you can get a job anywhere, chance to work directly with high level execs (CMO, SVPs, ect.)

Minpunten

DISH Network is one of the worst places I have worked. The culture is very tough, management only tells you what you are doing wrong and you are required to work 42.5 hours a week. The good: benefits are fair, looks good on a resume, if you can make it 2 years you can get a job anywhere, chance to work directly with high level execs (CMO, SVPs, ect.) The bad: thrown into the fire with no training and when things go wrong you are blamed/ made to look incompetent, manager meetings every week that are anything but productive/ only telling you what you are doing wrong and not offering any advice, working 10+ hours a day with no recognition, being legitimately KICKED under the table by a manager in meeting with CMO, no severance for 3,000+ employees laid off due to COVID even though DISH boasts about their billion dollars of free cash flow All in all, I am happy DISH laid me off. I was not happy and worked my butt off with no recognition except from my peers. DISH needs to reevaluate their culture and policies to match the demands of employees in 2020. I would reconsider any offer you receive and ask hard questions during your interview.

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.
