For the period I worked at Dish, there were tests online for certain basics and spatial ability, which you are directed to from job hunt sites. After the application and testing process, I received a call within a few weeks, an initial phone interview: in this session they did some basic HR questioning, which seemed to correspond with the fads at the time: probably a combination of training given to the management, and the popular questions found at sites online. If the manager who calls you likes what he hears, he has you come in for an interview in-person. This is what they did, and again, standard fair or HR fads: questions like "of what accomplishments are most proud", and whatever BS psychologists were selling at the time. I gave honest answers, which got me some hesitation, but in the end I was hired, and worked there for over a year (loyally too). The culture is one of CYA, politics, a little fiefdom of a king and his advisors, sociopathic answers to questions providing input, such as "those are one offs" or "you should have worked faster" to feedback like "I encountered an impossible set of circumstances." There is a reason Dish was voted worst place in America to work, and from what I was told by higher-ups, it can be worse the closer you are to corporate and their oversight, which unfortunately was in our backyard.
