Toxic Work Environment's

Pros

There were no pros of working for Dish.

Cons

The work environment is toxic. Dish refuses to change their culture to fit the mold of workplaces desired in today's society. There is no work-life balance with an overwhelming amount of workload expected. As a female I was told on multiple occasions that I was not "allowed" to do something that my male peers were.

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Pros

- All newly hired people are of good quality. They know their tech stack. - Managers are cool and accomodating. - Learning is in focus. Employees are encouraged to take certifications, but not pressurized. - Work quality is good. All projects keep you well occupied technically and let you grow knowledge wise. - Good for freshers, they can learn and earn well. - Salary is decent.

Cons

- All old employees (5-10 years with Dish) are rigid and old school. They think they are irreplaceable and are inconsiderate towards latest tech and latest market norms. - Company is not ready for new normals in the world. They don't believe in WFH and have a age old policy of 12 day WFH in a year. Service based companies like Infosys created 11 day WFH in a month back in 2015. Not sure in what year Dish leadership is stuck in. - Leadership doesn't want to talk about difficult topics (late night calls, WFH, bad policies). They will always deflect hard questions and talk about CPAW and company goals. Employee well being is openly disregarded. - A lot of late night calls. Actual work(Design and business aspect of apps developed) is done in Denver and they pass on basic and not so important work to India team, for which they will expect India team to be available till 10-11 pm(Can always spill over to late night like 1 am). - Worst policies. Never ever in my carrier have I seen such worst policies. They are most dumbest ones. They will write something in policy and will follow something else. A lot of things are not mentioned in the policies,but is followed by team enforcing team it. Travel policy, Espp(Shares) policy, Learning policy all have such caveats that they save employer from actually paying to employee or at the least doesn't give the intended benefit to employee for which they are made. I really wonder how much that actually save for company and how much it agitate the employees. - Salary increments need to be thinked again. While the world out their is jumping on opportunities in great resignation. Dish is quiet not doing enough on that part. The employees not jumping out are gems, that too if they have actually proved their worth by performing in covid times. - The PA cycle is so broken, you never know when will you get them. They will forget about it completely at the right time.
