Pros

Great place to learn different things in the software development realm. The "worker bees" are a great bunch of folks. Some of the smartest people around. Fun, good people to work with. I like the team I'm on, my daily work, and my direct manager.

Cons

The IT leadership is incompetent. They fired the "low end performers" in January, but the real idiots are the CIO, VPs and Directors. They are more concerned with "not making waves" than they are with doing the right thing. They have no idea how to manage an IT release in regards to capacity management and standing up to Charlie and the COO. They have no idea how to stand up to other execs. Therefore, we are constantly working abusive overtime (No joke) and releasing marginal products (hey ,as long we didn't take down a call center, its a success ...) The IT leadership has now idea how to manage people, except to crack the whip more.

Pros

My boss is actually a great person who hasnt drunk the Dish Network koolaid so he is actually a great manager.

Cons

Everything else this place has bad benefits that keep getting more expensive but yet dish makes 1 billion a year in profit. They micro manage you to a T....its amazing they dont trust any employee as far as they can throw you. Finally they move slower then slow on everything possible raisies or promotions or transfers. You actually couldnt really find a worse place to work then here.

Pros

Pretty good opportunity for advancement, just make sure you hook your wagon to the right people. Your associations mean more inside this company than any other I have worked.

Cons

Watch your back. Unfortunately, backstabbing will happen inside Dish. I never had any problems with my direct supervisors. We always had a very good working relationship. Be careful of the outliers.
