      It's all about who you work for

      Pros

      It's all about who you work for. Dealing with Echostar is a major obstacle and there is a very dissident relationship between the Hughes team and Echostar team. Don't work for someone on the Echostar side if you can avoid it.

      Cons

      The Echostar ownership has been detrimental to Hughes over the last few years that I have been there. The Company has changed drastically and people leave once they work with the Echostar team.

      Get in, learn as much as you can, get out

      Pros

      Hughes is a great place to start after graduating from college, but don't stay longer than a few years. Your skills will stagnate. There are opportunities for training if you want it, and you get a chance to work with some really interesting technologies. Work/life balance is pretty awesome, and you are recognized for the work you do. There are some real characters.

      Cons

      Benefits, low compensation, tribalism, benefits, a lot of reinventing of the wheel, very little cross pollination among teams, very archaic software processes, very archaic software, benefits, IT is pretty awful, and uh...yeah, benefits. There are a lot of managers who have no business leading teams simply because they lack fundamental management (dare I say...people?) skills. You quickly learn who to avoid. There's no real culture to speak of.
