Pros

I've honestly dealt with a great team during my time here. Bosses make your experience and mine has been with the company a long time that he is one of the most knowledgeable people in our department.

Cons

Sometimes you have to jump through too many hoops to get anything you need to do your job. Just seems the company is too devided and not looking to a common goal because of certain policies.

Pros

There is some interesting stuff to work on. There are some good people to work with. Depending on the role, you might be able to negotiate for higher pay to compensate for the below-average benefits provided by Dish. You might need to go and get a competing offer to do so, and you might just accept the competing offer instead.

Cons

Company culture is based around extracting the maximum value for shareholders while providing the bare minimum that employees will put up with. This is the basis for every decision. If employees can be screwed, they will be. The health insurance is expensive and the deductibles are extremely high - even for a high-deductible health plan - easily twice as high as the competition. The 401k has a 20%-per-year vesting schedule and a minuscule company match ($2500 annual limit), so they don't really contribute anything to your retirement account. If you work there for a year, you only really get a $500 match. Meanwhile management will tell you that the benefits are above average. They're not.
