Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at EchoStar full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Very skilled workforce. Watch TV at work.
Cons
Leadership isn't very good. None of their technology is groundbreaking or state of the art. Very clear that management is more important than people who do the work that makes the profit.
Advice to Management
Quit fighting with other teams in the same division. Very feudal.

Helpful teammates, work may be irrelevant to market but it is interesting
