Pros

DISH is a great place to grow your career if you choose to do so. If you want to learn about accounting and be the next CFO, this is the company to join. Will it be easy...NO. But that's what is good about working here....you may start out as an Accounting Clerk and give 110% everyday and be promoted to Staff Accountant, then Manager, then.... you name it, the future is yours to make. There are numerous success stories of employees that give 110% every day, get promoted several times, even to departments outside Accounting such as Finance, IT, Marketing just to name a few. DISH is a fast paced challenging work environment not meant for everyone. However, if you believe in yourself and put in the hard work, then this is the place for you.

Cons

Candidates interested in joining DISH need to look at themselves internally and ask the question.... Am I willing to work hard and help DISH succeed and grow with the company? If your answer is YES, then join DISH. If your answer is NO, then realize this isn't the company for you.

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.
