Department Summary
DISH is a Fortune 200 company that continues to redefine the

DISH satellite TV service, taking on some of the largest U.S.
corporations in the process, and grew to be the fourth-largest
pay-TV provider. We are doing it again with the first live,
internet-delivered TV service - Sling TV - that bucks traditional
pay-TV norms and gives consumers a truly new way to access and
watch television. - Now we have our sights set on upending the
wireless industry and unseating the entrenched incumbent carriers.
- We are driven by curiosity, pride, adventure, and a desire to win
- it's in our DNA. We're looking for people with boundless energy,
