Pros
I work as a front end software developer in the New York City office, so it may or may not be relevant to other offices and departments. Here's my 2 cents: - Leadership: I enjoy working with industry veterans from companies that Dish and its subsidiaries have acquired like Move Networks and Sling -- two of the earliest online video companies - Innovation: Our team at Dish is always working on new platforms and systems and pushing the envelope! Exploring Roku, Smart TVs, new mobile platforms. This lets me keep learning and developing myself professionally. - Vision: Dish seems to have a clear long term vision which includes the wireless industry. I like working in a company that's growing! - Opportunity: Dish has a disproportionate number of young managers and leaders. Management seems to notice when someone takes initiative
Cons
- large company with so many employees means the deployments are slow and any organizational change takes years! - not enough PDO
