Vantaggi

Dish gives you the opportunity to learn new skills and develop into roles you might not get in other companies.

Svantaggi

There are very toxic leaders in that company that create a dangerous environment. Statements like "Do more with less", "we need to Apollo 13 this", and "burn the ships" are frequently used to stress that everything is prioritized, regardless of what it takes. The expectation is that you work endless days to make things happen, regardless of workstaff, timing or personal health. If you fail to meet these expectations, you are not showing the "Dish way". There are some truly amazing leaders there, but they either leave to find better companies or are not empowered because they truly care about their employees. This stems from the top, and drives the way that senior leaders are selected. If you can "Crack the whip", then you'll be a good leader there. Also, female leadership is in very short supply there. It is a true boys club, and the only female leaders there prove that they can Crack the whip with the boys. The Director I last worked for ran off every single female senor manager under him in a matter of months. Truly disgraceful.

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.
