      Pros

      Having a Job in this market.

      Cons

      Daily beyond unrealistic expectations. You have to be perfect to meet expectations. Upper management does not live in 2025 they live in the 80s or 90s with archaic practices. Micro management. A culture of doesn’t matter what happens in your day you are expected to fix it. Customers getting upset that Verizon cut their wires and they put a call back in is your fault and will effect your bonus. Constantly adding work that detracts from your daily activities and bonuses then blaming you for you not getting a bonus.

      We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your candid feedback. It is valuable to us, especially during this period of economic change. We aim for our performance expectations to be challenging yet achievable, and we are concerned to hear that you feel they are unrealistic and require perfection. We consistently review our metrics and management practices to ensure they are fair, relevant, and supportive of our employees' success. We apologize if any of our processes feel outdated; we are committed to modernizing our operational approaches to be competitive and effective in today's business landscape. It sounds like there are significant concerns regarding micromanagement and being held accountable for issues outside of your control, particularly those affecting customer calls and bonus structure. We take this very seriously, as our goal is to foster a culture where employees feel supported, trusted, and fairly rewarded for their direct efforts.

      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.
