Corporate Summer Internships with DISH & Sling TV (Denver, Colorado)
Our Vision is to change the way the world communicates. Our Mission is to connect people and things.
We’re DISH. We’re the ones who pioneered the DVR and commercial-free TV. Colorado-born and family-owned, DISH has proudly served America since 1980. We make a point of listening to our customers and giving them what they want in an industry notorious for ignoring people. Of course, we’re proud of our past accomplishments, but our true excitement lies in the future.
We’re reimagining the way people watch TV with services like Sling and AirTV. We’re redefining the boundaries of communication and connectivity too, with wireless spectrum and the Internet of Things. Nothing is out of our reach, and the opportunity to shape the future of entertainment and technology has never been more tangible.
So, let’s roll up our sleeves and decide what the future looks like together.
