Vantaggi

It's interesting work and the people are great if you can find the right team. There are also fun company events when you're in the office. If you're brand new in your career, they'll take a chance on you and you can learn a lot.

Svantaggi

Don't expect the reap any benefits from working for a large, growing company. DISH is antiquated in every way possible. The backend technology is not up-to-date or competitve and they're not interested in updating or innovating. You are expected to live solely for the company and work extra hours every single day no matter what. This doesn't mean you'll get rewarded for working overtime, that's simply the DISH Way. There is no possibility of working remotely, even in cases of weather and sickness. You are expected to take PTO days if you can't make it into the office by 9 am. When the pandemic started, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for the company to start caring about the lives of their employees. But they continued to force people into the office and risk their lives when most jobs can be done from home. If you want to stay home and not get Covid, you're told you'll probably be passed up for promotions because you're not able to collaborate with the team in the office. The compensation and benefits are well behind other large companies in the Denver area. We continue to beat goals but none of that success is trickled down to the employees doing the actual work (unless you count being told "good job" as compensation). Raises, bonuses, and promotions have been on hold for a year now while the everyday employee is working 3-4 jobs since leadership won't backfill any of the roles. And you're expected to take on the jobs of those who have left with a smile on your face.

Vantaggi

Good middle management and compensation. Lots of opportunities to learn from plenty of smart people.

Svantaggi

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.
