DirecTV Employee Reviews for Software Engineer

"I have worked for DirecTV since 2010, originally as a studio operations contractor and later in 2013 as a full-time software developer. I stayed on during the acquisition of the company by AT&T and continued to provide support for our entertainment products. While I may have disagreed with a number of the changes being acquired brought, one thing that remained constant was the sense of unity and familiarity with the people I worked with day-to-day."

"I worked in this company over 5 years."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Do not work for them unless you're desperate just to get a job for a while, but don't stay there. It's such a disgusting work environment that your good work and effort won't get you anything but frustration!"

What don't you like about working at DirecTV?

"Dirty management, mistreating and exploiting employees. The pay is based on who you know and your connections and yes even race! And that they have outsourced about 200 jobs to Vietnam and Ukraine so the chances are you'll be terribly underpaid there!"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"To better treat their people, put away their arrogance and respect their employees' dignity."
