I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at DISH (Sanford, NC) in Oct 2012
Interview
I had 3 face-to-face interviews and 1 phone interview. Several computer tests or evaluations on how to handle situations. I was lied to by the recruiter, and the 3 face-to-face interviewers. I was told that I would only work 4-10 hour days with some overtime. After I started, I was told that I needed to work a minimum of 55 hour per week. This works out to 14 hour days.

Question 1
None. The company states they are looking for leaders who think outside the box. The reality is they are targeting retired military because Dish thinks they will follow direction from upper management without asking questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at DISH (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Interview included questions about previous income, which is illegal to ask here in CA. Companies routinely ask this to try to recruit someone willing to accept a lower salary than other candidates would accept.
Online assessment prior to phone interview. Phone interview was pretty standard type questions. Was selected for in person interview which was really overly long - 1.5 hours one on one with office manager and THEN another 1.5 hours of online assessments following the actual interview.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DISH in Jan 2017
Interview
Applied on Indeed and I was contacted by a recruiter a week later. The recruiter interview was more of a information conversation and less of a phone interview, was asked very few questions. Was set up with a fave to fave interview with the Operations Manager a week later and this interview was your basic STAR format interview. During this interview I was told about the long hours and all the issues that come with working at DISH. The OPS manager was straight forward and pretty much confirmed all the bad reviews on Glassdoor and other Forums. After this interview I had an interview with the Regional Manager via phone and he asked more leadership/management type of questions and then I had a interview with the Regional Director. All he asked me was about my resume and how will I adapt to a new job with little experience in installing systems in homes. All in all 4 phone interviews and one face to face interview.....took 5 weeks to complete. Oh, you will have to take the wonderlic test which is not that hard.
