Pros

Pay for relocation (only way they can get folks to come work there as the local reputation is terrible). Pay is pretty good but you'll pay for the extra money you make here vs. working somewhere else in other ways (i.e. your sanity).

Cons

Do not work here if you value being a professional and working with other professionals who act like mature adults. Do not work here if you like getting work done and adhering to industry and function best practices. Do not work here if you are an expert in your field and want to be treated as though you are an entry-level employee with no experience or knowledge. Do not work here if you don't like petty drama, intense office politics, favoritism and rampant sexism. Do not work here if you value your mental and physical health. Dish definitely doesn't care about it in the least. Do not work here if you're smart and want to make a good career decision. Trust me, whatever you think you're gaining, you'll be losing more.

Pros

The people that I worked with were always really nice and intelligent. There is opportunity to learn and grow if you go for it. Good name to have on your resume. Work is pretty easy and work-life balance is really good, at least in IT - not true in other departments I hear.

Cons

Culture from the top is toxic. They expect a lot out of you but aren’t willing to give you anything in return. Budgets are constantly being cut so raises and promotions become more and more difficult to obtain. Benefits are pitiful - we constantly ask for cheaper and better healthcare and instead Dish keeps it the same and increases the cost. Layoffs are fairly frequent even during non-COVID times, and during COVID I would’ve expected execs to take a pay cut before layoffs, which didn’t happen. When they finally did take a cut it was small. Speaking of COVID, hope you’re ready to risk your health and safety by working for Dish! They forced everyone back into the office regardless of if you wanted to go or not. A direct quote from a VP was - “We need more people to come back, the office is too empty.” THAT’S THE POINT, WE’RE IN A PANDEMIC. Especially when meetings and everything are still virtual, and you have to wear a mask all day in the office. It’s a great example of how Dish will never change from their outdated policies and don’t trust their employees.

Pros

Coworkers, hands down are amazing

Cons

The company is completely out of touch with the current job markets. We are underpaid, overworked, and have archaic policies like "core hours" (must be in the office from 9-4), PTO policies are outdated and slow to accrue, and there is no work from home policy. And don't bother asking because it's a hard NO.
