Pros

- A lot of talented engineers and some caring upper management. - Good Dish TV discounts (terrible Hughes VSAT discount) - In the recent years pay has become more competitive with the market. - very supportive of the Indian culture and workforce.

Cons

- Zero tolerance for work from home. Even in a recent snowstorm we were forced to take PTO but still required work. So folks worked from home, but on their own dime. - Very few core holidays - you’ll be working while the rest of the country has the day off. - employer401(k) contribution is max of $7500 and they only match 3%. - Max PTO was recently cut to allow nothing beyond your PTO days for the year. - Employee stock purchase plan was changed, requiring employees to hold their stock for six months. Due to the merger many employees, then lost 80% because they were unable to get out of the stock. - Badging in the office is checked and forwarded to management. Don’t get stuck on a conference call that makes you late to work. - You must write a detailed summary of every travel day, if you travel more than three days. - Very slow to adopt new technologies from other vendors. We can do it ourselves better thought process. This leads to many undelivered projects and services. - Lots of coworkers leaving for other IT related jobs and inability to work a day or two here or there from home. - Lots of cost-cutting going on with the merger.
