Pluspunten

Great coworkers. Occasionally they unlock the doors and let you outside for lunch as long as you don't venture off too far.

Minpunten

Dish has the classic mentality of paying the least for everything while asking all they can and a little bit more. They'll give you the absolutely minimum possible (pay, benefits, time off, flexibility,etc.) but expect you to lay down your life for the company so that uncle Charlie can make an extra $3. They treat outside partners the same way. They will beat anyone down as much as possible (hence why the majority of their partnerships end up in a courtroom) but in spite of constant takedowns they expect their customers to pay them more every year simply because they know most people won't leave. The mentality at Dish can be summed up in one word: selfishness. Don't expect them to do anything for you unless it benefits them. Management is short sighted and realize that since their product and their brand are dying they need to squeeze out as much money as humanly possible while the cash cow still exists. Dish is like the kid everyone knew growing up who thought they were so much better than everyone else and never let anyone play with their toys. Eventually the curiosity wears off and you stop going to that kid's house. Don't make the decision of taking a job there. It'll be the worst mistake of your life. They will shame you into staying by saying you must not be good enough if you can't make it there. Don't fall for it, not every company is like Dish (or remotely close) and leave the first chance you get, it's not a reflection of you it's a reflection of the company that is stuck in the labor practices of a 19th century coal mine. Be warned, once you leave you will suffer from Post Dish Stress Disorder (PDSD) and when you start at your next job you'll think that everyone is watching your hours closely and that you're not allowed to leave for lunch and that you'll be fired for having to drop your kids off at school before work. It'll wear off soon, once you work for a real company your manager will ensure you that it's ok to have a life outside of work.

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.
