Interviewed Jan 2012 in Farmers Branch, TX (took 5 days)
Skills test and personality test first. Tests online. Then if they are interested they will set up an initial phone interview. Next step is a one on one interview with at least the Installation Manager and possibly the GM of that area. Ifa mutual agreement is reached on employment then drug testing and background checks.
You better have a clean driving record, driving skills and quality are VERY important to DIsh with good reason, we are a moving billboard on the streets.
The office is a typical office, clean and has all needed equipment. Personalities of management and techs are very positive. Work culture is different from a lot of companies. Dish is focused on performance, very focused on quality (we have a QAS manager who randomly checks your jobs very thoroughly) and safety of employees with weekly training updates. There is a tendency to micro manage to some degree, but if you can perform well and have a POSITIVE attitude the managers will go out of their way to support you and let you work with out too much oversight.

Negotiation Details
The pays is set in two of the offices in North Texas. There is a low hourly pay during training and probation period of 90 days. The work pay in two of the NTex offices is a performance based pay (reason is complex) rather than hourly. The method of computation is based on metrics which are rather cryptic and complicated. You can make a good salary if you are a fast, QUALITY oriented, safe worker and have or can develop great customer skills. You must be flexible and non judgmental and have respect for customers from a wide background.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Katy, TX (took 3+ weeks)
The interview process was one of the best I've had so far. The first thing I did was apply online which took about 2 hours and consisted of the personality and skills test. About a week later I was contacted for a phone interview which was very laid back and easy. At the end of the interview they told me they were moving me on to a one on one interview the coming Friday. The one on one was once again very laid back and easy. The head manager actually told me to lean back and relax. The question were all very easy mainly questions about a/v setup and networking. Three days after the one on one I received a phone call stating that I had been moved on to the last step of the interview process which was a drug test, background check and reference check. About a week and a half after I received that phone call I got an email offering me the job. I accepted and was given a day to go sign my new hire paper work and I start training on the 30th.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Lincoln, NE (took 2 days)
Application takes about 2 hours to complete skills/IQ test online. Prior to interview, I was required to acquire a Motor Vehicle Record. Interview in office was pretty casual, speaking with 2 of the regular managers of the office. Immediately after the interview, I was sent to a drug testing facility in town. Almost everybody who interviews is hired, unless the office is already employed to full capacity.
