      Pros

      Hughes has a very deep technical talent pool, espcially in area of satellite and wireless communications. A new grad or junior engineer can learn a lot quickly from just being immersed in the enviroment.

      Cons

      Hughes' business has so far been niched in commerical satellite business. Several attempts to breakout into other adjacent area such as cellar or goverment are were not very successful. Hughes is top heavy in term of management structure and has a rather large mid-management and lots of politics between them.

      Discrimination and slow career growth

      Pros

      Pros depends on the Manager you work for. But very few good Managers

      Cons

      Proprietary Technology used by Hughes only. You will be good for no other company after few years of job at Hughes. You have to start from scratch where ever you go with Entry level Salary. If you are not getting any other option, then yes you can give Hughes a try. No trainings are provided. No one listens to you. On-call sucks- day n night. Just peanuts of money for extra work/ time done. Very less bonus. Benefits are very bad, just one medical plan with highest deductible. Only US Citizens and PR are given normal ID badges, other Visa holders have same ID but with a dark red line mark which makes you feels like you are a threat and US citizens should be cautious of you while talking. Nearby parking is reserved for upper Management. Other employees are supposed to park in the next row. This shows discrimination done between employees. In my new company there is only reserved parking for Expectant mothers. All others are treated equal. There is also discrimination on the coffee service. Upper level management is provided with Half-n-Half milk and better cups but other employees are given powder milk :). I know this is not a great point to mention but everyone has its opinion. Security guard inside the building opens door for upper management only. Other employees are neglected.
