Pros

Remote work is cool. That is about it.

Cons

I was hired as a remote employee yet everyday there are threats that remote work is ending. This company is going to go bankrupt and fast. Charlie Ergen is a lunatic who has no business here. This has to be the worst place to work. Layoffs constantly, leadership has unreasonable expectations about where the business is headed, and overall it’s just not a good place to work at all. They are “laying off” anyone who has any type of PiP or unfavorable performance review rather than trying to coach and develop people. They are blaming the employees for the problems of the business. The benefits here are absolute worst in class. That includes everything from PTO to medical. Only 7 total holidays a year. I regret taking a job here and am actively trying to get the heck out of dodge willfully before they inevitably find a reason to fire or do a “layoff”. All of their senior leadership is jumping ship fast. Do not apply 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.
