      Pros

      - Sometimes you luck out with a good team/manager - Okay-ish pay - Recently stated promoting internally

      Cons

      - Like school, must badge in before 9AM or your manager gets and email - Restricted to stay inside the building for 8hrs. 8hrs+ if you want to be promoted. Tracks your time diligently. - No hybrid or remote options and no flexibility, worse in some teams. - Top down approach when it comes to running the business, you will constantly be putting out fires because someone in leadership feels a certain way and it needs to be changed immediately. - You will constantly be told how you are not doing a good job by either you manager, or skip and maybe even other people not on your team - No cross functional collaboration - Calls itself as agile but truly is the most waterfall, there is a 7+ step process for pushing anything to production

      Pros

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

      Cons

      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.
