Dish is just OK.

Pros

Salary isn’t bad if the company truly values your work. If you utilize all the financial benefits you can make out pretty well with compensation. I’m ending up with about $6500 yearly employer 401k contribution plus nearly $4000 from the ESPP.

Cons

Militaristic management style top down and bottom up without a good reason. Inflexible work schedules. Always a strange feeling if you mess up even on a small scale you won’t have a job. And of course the childish badge report. Are we really still in high school? The “Dish is isn’t for everyone” viewpoint pushes the good people out and leaves what is sadly a largely underperforming group of employees. Health benefits are emergency use only due to the cost structure.

Corporate opportunity is here, but DISH makes it hard to stay.

Pros

- willing to hire less traditional backgrounds for corporate roles with opportunity for internal lateral movement - structured talent development program - many smart, hard working colleagues across the business - wireless future is bright

Cons

- HR policies are strict and a decade behind when it comes to workplace flexibility, benefits, and diversity/inclusion - diversity at corporate is dismal; particularly for women and men of color, you will be one of very few (if any) faces of color on your teams - C-suite leadership promotes a work culture that puts productivity and bottom line above employee health and benefits - lean company; this is a pro/con. No “dead weight” on teams, but it’s considered normal for most individual contributors to be stretched very, very thin. Work/life balance is not easy here.
