Pros
Number one pro is the people you work with. They are a true team and recognize the need to pitch in together and help out to get the jobs done. Second is the technology stack - there is a broad range of wireless, RF and high speed electronics exposure, and employees are encouraged to learn about newly emerging technologies. Finally, and many other reviews have stated this, there really is a great opportunity to launch your engineering career with Dish. Learn how high volume, high quality consumer electronics gets built the right way from the ground up.
Cons
Dish isn't for everyone. Hard work and a willingness to learn new things are par for the course. If you want to keep your head down and fly under the radar, Dish probably isn't going to work for you. I agree the benefits seem to be below average.
