      Great Place to learn and work

      Pros

      The place is filled with nice people and almost none shows any sort of hatred. Its a fun environment if you are in the right team. TONS and TONS to learn. The technology used here is not very common and is mostly ad hoc methods of dealing with things.

      Cons

      The company is not the best at pay nor benefits. I have heard of teams that make you work so long that they consider you not to have a life. But that's just few teams and almost certainly you could maintain your reputation of having a life outside echostar right from the start.

      Tough company, but best professional learning experience.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Gives opportunity to employees to work "over the head" and if you prove yourself, you might get promoted. Great challenges, if you're willing to take on something new, they give you a shot at it. If you come up with ideas, they listen and usually let you go for it. I thought it was a fun, fast-paced environment, but I was single at the time.

      Cons

      This was back in Echostar's earlier days, Mike Duggan was not the CEO at that time, they have probably changed. But at that time: Workaholic culture. You're not considered a team player if you want evenings and weekends for your family. The management team was expected to be avail 24/7. Pay was on the low end. I was in human resources and could not get the management team to consider anyone who wasn't in mid-thirties or younger. Executive team was a boys club, foul language, hostile work environment at that level was tolerated.

      Benefits offered does not meet industry standard. There are groups outside of the department that controls a lot of how things are run. This could be frustrating.
