If you like to be surrounded by smart people and enjoy being treated with respect, then stay away - Anonymous employee Hughes Network Systems Employee Review

with some few exceptions, the comany has very unhealthy culture and work environment. Most smart employees who enjoy working with other smart people and like to be treated with respect do not stay at this company for long. Don't expect to be properly trained nor compensated. Do expect to be bullied, as there are few bullies around, some with fancy titles. The company, with few exceptions, is run by mostly highly paid, semi retired, , unmotivated "leaders" who lack basic skills in managing organizations. Almost every manager has the word VP or Director in their title, most do not even manage a business or manage less than a handful of people. Looks like the company went through some tough time in the past and most of the talent have left. As a result, many were promoted into leading positions. For now the company does not have a lot of competition, but without changing its culture, it will not survive once competition gets more intense with viasat and idirect and gilat are all gearing up.
