Pros
A lot of smart people work at DISH, but honestly most people aren't that engaged in what they are doing. I don't work crazy hours, but no one in my department does. Some departments work crazy hours thought - 7 PM meetings for certain departments are par for the course.
Cons
There is absolutely no trust at this organization. The employee turnover at corporate headquarters is higher than any company that I have ever worked for. Everyone jokes that everyone is looking to leave. Doesn't make for the most engaged or motivated workforce. The company has absolutely no process, procedure or structure making it incredibly hard to get any cross functional work accomplished. There are far too many managers who rule by intimidation and fear. Also, don't fall for the "DISH cares" crap. DISH, or should I say Charlie Ergen, gives 0% of any money raised. DISH doesn't even match employee donations. It's basically just employees volunteering during non work hours or giving money/donations from their own paychecks. Dish EMPLOYEES care... but DISH does not. There is a huge difference and how HR is using it as a recruiting tool is hilarious and deceiving.
