It is great to hear that you have benefited from the competitive pay for senior roles and that our stock performance has been a positive factor in your experience. We are also pleased that you’ve been able to take advantage of the employee discounts on Dish and Boost offerings, as we want our team to enjoy the products they help support every day. We acknowledge your concerns regarding the shifts in our workforce and the impact that unassigned roles can have on remaining team members. Maintaining a balanced workload and ensuring our engineers have the autonomy they need to succeed are priorities for us, and we are constantly looking at how we can better support our project teams. Regarding our benefits package, we aim to offer a variety of options to meet the diverse needs of our employees and appreciate your feedback on how we can improve our healthcare value

Pros

Can survive if you hang out close with the upper management. This is applicable to most of the departments here.

Cons

Politics decide a lot of things. Working hours for the pay is not justified.
