Pros
Not much. All you need to know is their motto is "the best benefit is the opportunity". They sincerely say that at Dish.... Some managers/team leads are okay, but once you get up to the VP level it gets toxic fast.
Kontras
They under pay everyone. Significantly. They gave a pay raise to a lot of employees that amounted to nearly 20% last year and even with that raise, their salaries were still 3 years behind the industry averages. And they acted like it was huge favor to pay you a little more, but still well below average. Which brings us to culture. The culture here is horrible. Strict work hours. Time tracking and hassling you if you're arriving a second past 9. Your manager will call you into the office like you're a child asking for an explanation. Dish loves to infantalize its employees. Especially about..... WFH/remote work. The chairman of the company, in a ATM meeting, referred to those employees that wish to have WFH options as "sociopaths". Now, Dish is plagued with attrition (wonder why?) and all teams are at least a few people short. Don't worry. That won't stop them from asking you if you could do additional work and maybe even ask you to support another team or two or several additional projects. The benefits suck. Medical and dental are really bad. The PTO is a joke. You don't get normal holidays like MLK day off. And if they do give you a Christmas Eve off they will remind you they're doing you a huge favor. The company sucks. Outdated tech, banking on 5g to save them.
