From CRs, ASR9ks, Nexus, spirent, load balancers, they have everything. They have multicasting as well. Supervisors and directors are very approachable and down to earth. Co workers are very professional as well. Team work is the key for all the projects for good completion.They offer good benefits in medical, dental and life insurance."

"In my organization, politics are more important than technical or business values. I have seen managers playing games that hurt other groups or the company to better their personal or group agendas."

"When I started working here at DirecTV, it was a handful of managers within the PM group that had complete ownership of their products but as time went on, there was a regime change that consisted of hiring program directors that had NO CLUE as to what we were actually trying to build. As time went on, more and more of the original PM group was discontent with the lack of ownership we had with our original products and we felt we were relegated to paperwork and status reports rather real PM work."

"One of the best companies to work with."
