Pluspunten

Good pay, great people to work with (not for)

Minpunten

-Badge report still exists no matter what they tell you in the interview so be prepared to come to work just to badge in and THEN go to your doctors appointment. Or to have the conversation with your manager of why you had to leave before 4:30 -Management is terrible. They all live in fear of the Chairman - who still has a heavy hand in day to day operations -New management has come in from the largest CPG company in the world....and they are terrible. All of them. They are trying to make DISH into their old company -Medical benefits are horrific. Be prepared to put aside at least $10,000 before any benefits kick in. -Work/Life balance is nonexistent - when you ask management how they juggle kids and work their response is "tough" -Cheapest company around - you will share a hotel room every time you travel. And if there's only a double bed available? You will share that bed with your colleague.

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.
