Pros
A lot to learn at this company. Plenty of work to be done to keep Dish from dying the death it deserves. They now use Google Tools, which was a big improvement. Ability to move upwards slowly. Lovely "campus" to walk outside during lunch hours, which wasn't allowed until 2019. Frequent events that usually center on diversity & provides some food to boost morale.
Cons
Regressive work culture that does not prioritize employee health and safety or a balanced work culture. Management is adamantly inflexible and unstable. I had the pleasure (sarcasm) of seeing executive man-children throw tantrums on our floor in front of hundreds of people (screaming, punching walls, throwing things)- with absolutely no care for others' wellbeing. I have seen visibly sick managers coming onto meetings and working throughout the day. People are coming into the office with Covid thanks to the overall laissez-faire perception management provides about how we just need to "hunker down and keep going". During Covid (which is still happening), at-risk individuals are being asked by their managers to keep quiet about health problems and NOT share Doctor's letters with HR. This company puts entire families and the community at risk - they are negligent and hanging onto "old school" values while the rest of the IT/Telecom world is moving forward with progressive and human-centered policies. Benefits are terrible. Health insurance is notoriously poor. They treat workers and customers with the same contempt, either you're a big fan of their poor service/treatment or you can leave. Maternity/Paternity leave are minimal/nonexistent - you'll have to work here for 20 years to manage to have PTO available for large life events. And if you're pursuing education or any career growth certifications you'll be paying for that on your own! Keep your expectations low and keep demanding better pay for your time if you want to have some benefit of working at Dish.
