I applied online. I interviewed at DISH (Denver, CO) in Jul 2020
Interview
Lengthy Process & very disorganized. Goes multiple layers into the management for the baseline engineer positions.
Shows lack of trust between managers & senior management.
They have written tests (IQ/Personality etc)& interviews which take time.
The whole interview process takes about
No stock options.
You do not hear back from HR immediately as well.
During COVID-19, they want their employees & contractors to be present in office everyday, despite having exposure.
They let you rest for 14 days (quarantine) and are asked to come back to office on 15th day.
Bad ethics - do not care for their employees.
Many Red Flags throughout the process.
Candidates beware!!

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DISH (Englewood, CO) in Apr 2019
Interview
First step was a phone screen with a recruiter. After the recruiter sent me a link to a test that took about 2 hours, aptitude tests, basic math and comprehension. The next step was a 30 min phone screen with a hiring manager. Not very technical but went into details on previous experience. Then the next week I was invited to fly out to Englewood.
The on campus interview consisted of a 2 hour test, interview with the head of engineering, and the hiring manager. The test was Watson Glaser(unlimited time) and Wonderlic (50 questions in 12 min). On the wonderlic test, the best strategy is to guess on the ones that will take more than 10 seconds to answer and move quickly, you will find most of the question are easy. The one I took on campus was much easier than free online practice. The interview was basically the same as the phone screen. Asked more about your previous experience, wasn't asked anything technical. The day finished with a with a tour of the campus.
I was told I would hear back the next week. The next week the recruiter called to tell me that they liked me but hired someone with 7 years more experience than me.
Overall it was a positive experience. The process was super fast (2 and a half weeks) compared to any other company I've dealt with.
