Pros
The people that work at DISH are amazing; genuinely some of the most intelligent, hard working, innovative and creative people I've ever worked with. There are more opportunities than you can shake a stick at if you're willing to work hard and ask for those opportunities. Things are really starting to change with Joe Clayton in office and the launch of the Employee Engagement survey. I'd encourage anyone to come work for DISH if you're looking for great experience that you can't get somewhere else - DISH is always willing to take a chance on someone who embodies their values even if they don't necessarily have the skill set.
Kontras
There is so much talent, that often hard workers go unrecognized and are under appreciated. Pay raises are very small annually, generally only 1-3% if you get one; the only way to make more is to leave the company. The benefits at DISH are really quite bad - a $5,000 deductible for an employee plus one. The organization is very hierarchical, which makes it difficult for non-executives to impact change.
