Vantaggi
- Some good people here, but they are on their way out.
Svantaggi
- Increased expectations with reduced resourcing - Leadership loves to tout that DISH is a place for opportunity, but fails to deliver on that - Mass layoffs have had everyone on edge - Insane amounts of tech debt because asinine product features are dreamt up by leadership and no resources are allocated to current feature preservation - 5 days a week in office, culture is absolutely miserable - All of the good talent leaves very quickly, or get fired because leadership has zero idea who the high performers are - Executive team treats you like children

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.
