Interviewed Jan 2012 in Englewood, CO (took 3 weeks)
The interview process is long and can take up to 3 months. Be patient. DISH does not pay at market salary. The supervisor position was supposedly locked in at $55 - $60k annual. There a lot of hoops to jump through but if you want the responsibility that comes with the position (which there's a lot of). You can move into a higher position and salary range at another company.
My resume was given to a hiring manager at a university recruiting event. I followed up with 2 of the managers. They sent my resume to HR. 3 weeks later I was sent an email to take a few tests, a skills test and a RoundPegg? test. The skills test was like an easier version of the GMAT/SAT. The RoundPegg test was to see what type of person you were.
From there I was invited to do an on site interview with a few people. I ended up doing 5 interviews in a row with 7 people. I interviewed with a potential peer to what would be my management and director.
After the interview, I had to take a few more skills test. These were similar to the SAT/GMAT but easier. I think they want to verify that you were original person taking the first test. The whole process of interviews took 4-5 hours. The questions were really easy. I think they just want to gauge what type of person you are.
After a week, HR called and said I needed to interview with VP. I had an hour long interview. After that, I filled out paperwork that allowed them to do a background check, credit check and a drug test.
After all that, I was not selected for the position. I believe that someone in the mix of interviews did not like my personality or was intimidated by me. I think it was for the best. Their corporate culture was interesting, to say the least.
PROS:
Gain experience/responsibility that other companies would not give at the level you are at
If you work hard and do not rub people the wrong way, you can move up real quick.
CONS:
You have to be in the building between the hours of 9-4.
You have to "clock" AT LEAST 40 hours.
Closed campus.
Pay below market rates

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Denver, CO (took 2 weeks)
I found the Product Lead opening on my university's career website. As part of the application process I submitted my resume, cover letter, and completed an online assessment. The assessment took under 2 hours and had the usual math and English questions but also a section more tailored to the position. These asked a lot of questions about YouTube and Facebook's analytical tools. I must have done well enough to get a telephone interview. The phone interviewer asked some of the usual behavioral questions but also about my experience with cable companies, where I saw entertainment going in the next few years, and how Dish should market themselves and segment their products. I thought I did OK thinking on my feet but I received an email the next day explaining it was a competitive job market and they do not think I am the best fit for their openings.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Englewood, CO (took 2 weeks)
Received an email then proceeded to a phone interview. After I was asked to take 2 personality after the score were reviewed I was invited to a panel interview with the supervisor and manager for 1 hour. Then I was asked to take a SAT style tests, 3 total and was given 1 hour. I was asked what my salary asking price was and then was declined which seemed surprising to them. The salary was researched on a government page which claims to have the salary on the position I was biding for. After a week I emailed the supervisor and was told I did not score high enough on the assesment tests and was told that the company has strict rules about the employment through the scores.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Denver, CO (took 3 days)
Dish is proud that they test all applicants in skills and personality. Before figuring out where they would fit it if at all. The test is similar to an SAT test which maybe fine if you just graduated school but when you are decades from graduation I recommend finding some example tests online.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Littleton, CO (took a day)
Not much to speak of, basically a background check and tested for warm body. You are herded into this barn like building for orientation. Whole process is reminiscent of army draft led by Boy Scout Troop Leaders.
Negotiation Details
There was no negotiable. You are offered a low wage ($12 as I recall) with the promise of easily attainable bonuses.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Englewood, CO (took 3 months)
DISH Network's hiring process is exceptionally long and cumbersome. An HR rep first reached out to me for a phone interview. I was then invited in for an interview with two hiring managers. After that, I interviewed with three other members of the team I was interviewing for a position with. In addition to the interviews, I was asked to complete various aptitude and personality tests that are required of all employees. I was also asked to complete a task for the hiring manager by putting together a report that would become part of my job, if accepted to the position. Weeks would go by without any word from the company, and then I would receive a call with instructions on completing the next step in the process. Overall, the process was very frustrating and many times I thought I had dropped out of the running due to lack of communication from the company.

Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation. DISH Network was unwilling to budge on the offer they extended. By all means try negotiating, because raises are almost impossible to come by once hired.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Littleton, CO (took a day)
I had already been hired and was interviewing for a new position. It was a lateral transfer an was supposed to help me be a better employee. Instead it made me feel worse. The interview was informal and felt like it was chosen off of whether or not you were popular and in the "in crowd". Which I was but all the same, the job was not something I liked.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Englewood, CO (took 2 weeks)
I was first contacted by a member of the finance team to discuss my experience and skills. This interview lasted approximately 30 minutes. After getting accepted for second round interviews they flew me out to Englewood, CO where I met with 4-5 members of the finance team. Each interview lasted approximately 30-45 minutes with questions ranging from basic behavior to in depth case questions. Basically if you understand financial concepts, NPV, ROI, B/S, IS, CFS then you should have no problem getting through the case questions. Just be prepared, be articulate, and be confident. They really rate you on your ability to handle yourself in front of groups of people so be prepared with public speaking examples. This role, and any finance role at Dish will eventually put you in front of Robert Olson the CEO. You must be able to present to C-level executives to have a good career at Dish.

There was no negotiation. They told me what I was going to get, I tried to negotiate, but they said take it or leave it. Since this was during a rough time in the economy, I didn't have much of a choice but to take it.

Interviewed May 2011 in Englewood, CO (took 3 weeks)
I had a 30 minute phone interview while Dish Network through the university career center with the hiring manager and a second person. He passed along my information to the HR person who conducted a short phone interview and set me up to complete 3 hours worth of testing. The testing is cross between and IQ test and the GMAT. It is composed of several sections - word problems, logic problems, graphic/patterns, language comprehension and basic grammar.
The testing is intense because it is timed. You have 3 minutes to answer each question and NO opportunity to go back and review your answers or complete unfinished sections. There is no opportunity to pause a testing module once it has begun.
The in person interviews were pretty basic stuff. The second interview with the hiring manager was via Skype. Once I read the employee reviews of Dish Network I was a lot less interested in the position so I wasn't unhappy when they didn't advance me to the next round.
