Positive Reviews From DIRECTV Employees
- What did you like most about the interview process?I like the interviewer who interviewed me to get a job
- What makes you most happy at work?Being able to help people get what they want when it comes to entertainment
- What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?The company outings are the best at this company
Constructive Feedback From DIRECTV Employees
- What needs to change to make the company culture better?More accessible leadership. Company did not make the transition to virtual well, the executive leadership is largely out of reach to its employee base, which makes it largely out of touch to whats happening in the ranks. Despite direct negative feedback & very low ENPS, they turn a blind eye.
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?They removed long-term incentives in the company for anyone below Sr. Director level, while loading up work & responsibility at the Director level & below. Since they do not offer any type of stock or equity in DIRECTV or its parent companies (AT&T/TPG), employees are not vested in its success.
- What does the leadership team need to get better at?Focus on leading evolution of the business to make profitible. It is far too top heavy, with leaders focused on "hitting" to receive their bonuses by cutting investment to position the company for a potential sale vs actually delivering a superior product & offering for customers & consumers
