Pros
I work with brilliant people Pay is competitive Occasional cookouts
Kontras
The industry is in a nose dive, and everyone know is. DISH and Sling are bleeding subscribers (this is in the news), and even upper management admits (behind closed doors) that this trend isn't changing. The company is doing a hard pivot to be a cellular provider, which feels a bit frantic. A cyber attack earlier this year had a deep impact, and the effects are still being felt. Certain online systems still frequently glitch, but there's no effort to update this. A recent round of layoffs came out of nowhere, and the following company-wide reorganization has created chaos and uncertainty. I don't know a single person who isn't focusing on their LinkedIn profile, or actively job searching. Benefits are embarrassingly cheap. Zero severance for people laid off. On a comany wide webinar to discuss the layoffs and reorg, the founder publicly belittled his brand new CEO. In front of all of us. I was embarrassed for him, and disgusted with our "fearless leader". There is ZERO loyalty towards him, or the company among the employees. No matter what level you are, there is a badge in/out policy, and if you are late by a minute you get a reprimand. Be ready to come in at 2am when pushing out new products.
