      Pros

      Very great environment . I love how it’s not very stressful when it comes to getting your work done. The people on my team are fantastic to work with. I have a nice manager.

      Cons

      I don’t really know if I have any company cons yet. It’s only been a year so I am just trying to learn as much as possible in order to exceed and meet their expectations.

      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.

      Wasn't so bad until the Echostar policies creeped in

      Pros

      No time clocks. Generally surrounded by bright people. High levels of diversity.

      Cons

      Super slow to advance technologies. Still using WinXP, Oracle9i, and many other well dated technologies. Not much excuse for this. Way too slow to embrace change. IT rarely considers impact before making changes. The Echostar purchase now fully in effect decimated the benefits package. The benefits now could barely be described as "subpar". They pillaged the health insurance and made questionable moves with the 401k plans. Now only 10 days a year vacation for <6 year employees...though you finally get sick time of 5 days even though you used to get 15 days of vacation a year. Not seeing the balance and I've never had a job with so little vacation.
