Dislikes

- All old employees (5-10 years with Dish) are rigid and old school. They think they are irreplaceable and are inconsiderate towards latest tech and latest market norms. - Company is not ready for new normals in the world. They don't believe in WFH and have a age old policy of 12 day WFH in a year. Service based companies like Infosys created 11 day WFH in a month, back in 2015. Not sure in what year Dish leadership is stuck in. - Leadership doesn't want to talk about difficult topics (late night calls, WFH, bad policies). They will always deflect hard questions and talk about CPAW and company goals. Employee well being is openly disregarded. - A lot of late night calls. Actual work(Design and business aspect of apps developed) is done in Denver and they pass on basic and not so important work to India team, for which they will expect India team to be available till 10-11 pm(Can always spill over to late night like 1 am). - Worst policies. Never ever in my carrier have I seen such worst policies. They are most dumbest ones. They will write something in policy and will follow something else. A lot of things are not mentioned in the policies, but is followed by team (admin, hr,etc) enforcing it. Travel policy, Espp(Shares) policy, Learning policy all have such caveats that they save employer from actually paying to employee or at the least doesn't give the intended benefit to employee for which they are made. I really wonder how much that actually save for company and how much it agitate the employees. - Salary increments need to be thinked again. While the world out their is jumping on opportunities in great resignation. Dish is quiet not doing enough on that part. The employees not jumping out are gems, that too if they have actually proved their worth by performing in covid times. - The PA cycle is so broken, you never know when will you get them. They will forget about it completely at right time. Last time it was goven June only with arrears from May. Fingers crossed for this year since its recession time....Read More
