      Its not Dish in name only

      Pros

      Can't really think of much of a pro. They pay close to market rate,

      Cons

      Departments are constantly at war with each other. Management spends more time attempting to screw other managers over than actually getting stuff done. The company culture is vindictive, and non-cooperative. On entrance, they repeat that they are not Dish, over and over again. In reality, its a case of "The lady doth protest too much, methinks". The "discount" on dish service is laughable (we actually paid less for tv when I quit and switched our service to Comcast). Benefits were absolute bare minimum all the way around. The health insurance is the ultra high deductible that barely covers anything.

      a decent start to one's career, but could have been so much more

      Pros

      - Work on a product that you can see being used at many places - very friendly and helpful coworkers who genuinely care - a good place to start your career and learn the development process - good classes offered to ramp up

      Cons

      - no flexible hours or wfh policy - stingy at PTO - compensation definitely doesn't reflect the current market numbers in the area, nor does it make you want to stay ( ESPP only slightly makes up for it , that too because the company's stocks are growing) - health benefits are pretty bad with such a high deductible - bad coffee ( sounds like a small con, but have heard so many people complain about it so often, it just shows how frugal the company is in every area possible) - takes many years to get promoted, doesn't reflect the current market trend of career growth when compared to many companies in the same field.
