      Very Good Company for freshers

      Pros

      Senior staff is very supportive. They listen to your opinion, and give you chance to executive them. In all it is a good company to start your career.

      Cons

      Pay is not very attractive,medical benefits are less. At lease in the FPGA group, they are short of people, so many a times have to do months of testing for which an intern or technician should be hired.

      Pros

      Everyone at this company from directors, senior directors, all the way up to the VP and President are friendly and amicable.

      Cons

      The cafeteria does not have the best options and the work can at times require a great number of off hours (unpaid) effort.

      Depends on your department

      Pros

      Some neat perks, especially at HQ: onsite nurse and massage therapists, company store where you can buy gear/discounted events, cafeteria, plenty of free parking and right off I270 exit. There are a lot of long tenured employees.

      Cons

      Just average vacation time. Only one option for healthcare: HSA. Bring back options like PPO and HMO. Used to have the week off between Christmas and New Year's, but this went away in 2012 when EchoStar took over benefits. Some managers have been there too long and don't know how to manage. Your particular department will determine your experience. Technical staff seems to be treated much more professionally than admin/non technical. No telecommuting policy.
