Pros

Getting a paycheck. I guess that's a positive.

Cons

I'm convinced that any positive reviews are entirely fake and posted by upper management. If you like working here, you're either insane or into sado-masochism. It is impossible that anybody could like working here. I've worked here for a lot longer than the 5 years my profile says, but wanted to keep identifying info to a minimum. So lets get to it... Your tools break on a daily basis. You're told to submit error reports into the void that nobody cares about. The company constantly makes perplexing decisions where it almost seems like they're actively trying to fan the flames and make things worse. At first it seems like there's upward mobility. There's not. You very quickly hit a wall, and will go nowhere. Dead end job. They actively employ people they know are liars. You get to clean up the mess. Metrics are necessary to ensure people work hard. These metrics are unreasonable, and all they ever do is make them more difficult to meet. Doesn't matter if you've worked there 20 years or what department you're in. You will sit and take back to back basic customer service calls like a new hire. You will question your poor life choices that led you to work here. Avoid at all costs. Please dear god do not work here.

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.
