Pros

Most of the teams and middle managers are very good to work for. There is a lot of opportunity to learn if you are ambitious. The engineering projects can be fun and interesting. Work life balance is VERY Good.

Cons

No WFH. Down right TERRIBLE health insurance. 5 year vesting on 401K. Very strict badge policy where time is watched religiously. It felt like high school. They changed the rules of ESPP that made it way less good for the employee. There is a ton of uncertainty in the air with the Dish and Echostar merger.

Pros

they give free food twice a month

Cons

horrible company, by month 5 i was the most tenured person on my team. we also were required to try and sell to families of people who were deceased instead of cancelling their account. then came starlink. i was never paid for any of my starlink sales or my referral bonus. micromanagement is a huge issue as well and if you cancel more then 2 accounts you essentially get put in time out to stop you from making money for the day. overall the worst large company of this size i have ever worked for. churn and burn type job as you will see they are always hiring.
