DISH – Why Work For Us?
Who We Are
We're DISH. We're the ones who pioneered the DVR and commercial-free TV. Colorado-born and family-owned, DISH has proudly served America since 1980. We make a point of listening to our customers and giving them what they want in an industry notorious for ignoring people. Of course, we're proud of our past accomplishments, but our true excitement lies in the future.
We're reimagining the way people watch TV with services like Sling and AirTV. We're redefining the boundaries of communication and connectivity too, with wireless spectrum and the Internet of Things. Nothing is out of our reach, and the opportunity to shape the future of entertainment and technology has never been more tangible.
So, let's roll up our sleeves and decide what the future looks like together. Get Started Here

See how we're working to better serve our people, our community, and our planet.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at DISH full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
* Opportunities abound for technical jobs - engineering, IT, product, QA.
* Company has formally (and publicly) stated new direction with road map towards future IoT endeavors.
* Management is very transparent about their goals and objectives and offer frequent updates through all team meetings and other communications.
* No layoffs to date despite the obvious decline in paid TV subscriptions, but this is endemic of the industry at large.Cons
* Still a ways to go to shed negative legacy regarding employee trust, this primarily in the way agent call centers handled resources.
* Short on holidays and barely above avg. in benefits.Advice to Management
Continue to work on your people skills since in today's environment, employees are not retained by telling them to work hard and if they don't like it, leave. You'll end up with sub-par talent and in no way will you have the best team as you strive to. To be fair, I believe management has for the most part "gotten the message" and are working to improve the company's image and make it a great place to work.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at DISH (Denver, CO) in April 2017.
Interview
I received a call from their own internal recruiter and she asked questions about my last position. After that I received a questionnaire to complete that covered math, reading and the internet. It was designed to be hard but should be a good indicator for quick problem solving.
