Pluspunten

- You get to work with some talented folks - The 'misery loves company' adage fosters camaraderie amongst employees - 'The biggest benefit at Dish is opportunity': This is actually true, and a company of Dish's size provides the ability to move to a variety of different areas within the same organization. However, not a great endorsement of the actual health benefits that are well below average.

Minpunten

- HR constantly harps on improving culture, yet doesn't listen to employee feedback on how to do so. The opinion surveys on company policies aren't to implement change, but rather to inform HR of the biggest objections so they can continue to provide lip service without any real improvement. - Draconian workplace rules ruin any pros at this company. HR consistently harps on improving culture while nothing meaningful changes. - Example: Badging into the office at 8:59am is perfectly acceptable, but badging in at 9:00am and you are on the naughty report that prevents merit increases and career advancement. Depending on your role and manager, it doesn't matter if your car breaks down, you have sick children, etc. Be in by 9am or you pay the price. You are treated as a number here. - While Charlie's severely outdated employment practices are the biggest issue that trickle down to all areas of business, the most 'senior' (in tenure only) employees keep the Orwellian leadership style alive and well.

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.
