Pros

People are friendly. Pleasant office environment. Have a nurse on site that you could make an appointment to meet for free so you can avoid paying co-pay to the doctors as well as time away from work. Plenty of parking spaces at the headquarters. There is a company store that you can purchase certain tickets (i.e. movie, park) at a discount.

Cons

Benefits were good until Hughes was acquired by EchoStar. After the acquisition, benefits got downgraded. Not sure what other changes EchoStar will make in the future. Upper management do show favoritism to people who know how to butter up to them.

Pros

Some of the most brilliant engineering minds work here. The company has a good future and stability. The culture is uncertain after acquisition by Echostar

Cons

The work environment is stale, most of the Upper Management have been in their roles for decades and are not going anywhere. The company has fallen into a comfortable lull, and after acquisition by Echostar benefits were reduced drastically
