      Pros

      Absolutely none what so ever!

      Cons

      This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for. The company culture is expected to be understood and loved minutes into getting in. You are expected to follow archaic procedures for upper management who constantly remind you what dish back in the day used to be. The company is loosing 15 to 30 percent of its clients every year. Then your bonus is tied to service work you’re not getting. The company focuses on process over people leaving no room for growth. A process could be completely out dated and wrong, you and your boss agree it’s wrong, it doesn’t matter you have to do it. Expenses for trips, travel, and even taking care of your team come out your personal money. You then have to hope you stay within a 4 dollar a year per person budget or you are not getting your money back. Facility expenses like alarm company, fire extinguishers, and even getting a car out of impound when they don’t pay tickets comes out of your money and it could take up to 2 weeks to get your funds back. Why would I work to spend money here. There is no training for a manager either. You come on and they throw you to the wolves. They then beat you up for not knowing what’s going on. The company line is this is not to beat you up this is to help for next time.

      Thank you for sharing such candid and detailed feedback about your experience. We are sorry to hear that your time with us was frustrating, and we take your comments very seriously, especially those related to our culture and management support. It sounds like you felt a lack of support, particularly in the areas of process flexibility and expense reimbursement. We certainly aim to have clear, supportive processes in place, and we understand how challenging it can be when those systems don't work efficiently, especially when it affects reimbursement for business-related costs. We are constantly reviewing how we can streamline and improve our operational procedures. We appreciate you taking the time to outline these challenges, as your perspective helps us understand areas where we need to focus our efforts to be a better company. We are committed to fostering a culture of growth and support for all employees.

      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.
