Pros

Can pay ok for certain positions

Cons

Terrible management at all levels. Endless useless meetings. No raises for anyone in my office the past 2 years, yet everyone's job description has tripled in that time as people quit and no one is hired to replace them. The health insurance is very, very bad too.

It's wonderful to hear that you've experienced the positive aspects of our company, particularly noting the competitive salary and the strong team atmosphere we strive to foster. We truly appreciate you sharing your perspective. We also recognize your feedback regarding the significant travel requirements to accounts. We understand that extensive travel can impact work-life balance, and we are continuously looking at ways to optimize our account management strategies and leverage technology to potentially mitigate the need for constant travel where possible. Your comments are invaluable as we work to improve the employee experience. We are dedicated to ensuring a positive and productive environment for everyone on our team.

Pros

Good middle management and compensation. Lots of opportunities to learn from plenty of smart people.

Cons

Disclaimer -This is all water cooler hearsay and opinion. During the two years I was there the bill came due on being penny wise and dollar dumb over the years. A great example is Sling. Dish beat basically everyone to market but Netflix with streaming and was the first platform to offer live TV via stream (which YouTube TV still uses as a selling point). What happened? Dish paid the original engineers to build it and then balked at paying them to document and maintain it. Same deal with the cyber security team. After years of expecting security engineers to do exceptional work shorthanded for middling compensation eventually they had none. It was all put on the security manager, who had a heart attack after repeatedly requesting support. He understandably did not return. Not much later one of the core systems was ransomed, and the company fell out of the fortune 500. Despite being in the middle of dealing with the consequences of those decisions leadership was doing it all again with the mobile network build out.

Hearing that you found value in our middle management and compensation, as well as the chance to learn from the talented individuals on our teams, is encouraging. We appreciate you recognizing those aspects of your time with us. On the other hand, the historical context and concerns you shared regarding executive decision-making, infrastructure maintenance, and resource allocation are deeply concerning. Maintaining a stable, secure, and well-supported environment for our workforce is of the utmost importance, and we take feedback regarding employee well-being and operational decisions seriously. We are continually working to strengthen our operations and better support our teams across all business units. Because this review references a sensitive medical situation alongside organizational challenges, we would welcome the opportunity to hear more about your perspective. Please consider reaching out to our team directly at peopleoperations@dish.com so we can learn more.
