Pros

+ Easy technical job (Not lot of challenges) [ There is really no positive to work @ Hughes except that you may have settled closer to office and you just need some job to keep up with family ]

Cons

Tech: - Still RIP protocol being used :) - Lot of technical people in managerial positions. So, no freedom for engineers to work independently - No peer reviews for new designs. For most part senior directors / directors decide what should be done technically and engineers have to go implement - HR team is really bad - No process internally within Hughes to address inter-team related issues. Such problems contiue to hang on until it hurts end customer and thats when issues gets some attention and effort from staff to get fixed - Pay scale is lower than market rate

Pros

Can survive if you hang out close with the upper management. This is applicable to most of the departments here.

Cons

Politics decide a lot of things. Working hours for the pay is not justified.
