Hey everyone, I recently interviewed for a Principal Advanced Analytics role at DirecTV streaming and I am expecting an offer soon. The interview went well and the manager said it's a role within their Base Management Analytics team. I am interested from hearing from folks who are currently working at DirecTV about the following: 1. What's the work culture like at the company and at this team in particular? 2. What's a competitive compensation for this role? They said I can continue to be a remote employee. 3. I have immigration needs and want to understand how good/bad the immigration support team at DirecTV is. Any experiences worth sharing? 4. How's the layoff situation? Do they have a PIP program and do they leverage it to create a toxic culture? 5. Any thoughts on senior management at the company? 6. Does DirecTV offer any stocks/RSUs? 7. Do they offer joining bonuses? Current TC - 142k TC offered - 170k #dataanalytics #directv #streamcompanies #offer #tc #worklife #datascience #data #h1b
Layoffs were pretty common for a while not sure If that’s changed, but typically if you weren’t necessary it was an easy way to cut costs
Work culture completely depends on your team - I’m not in the management analytics team but a different one and it comes down to what’s expected of you. For a Principal role, 170k is around what I’ve heard from others with a similar title. I don’t know if it’s competitive enough in the market - it is what it is..Immigration needs and questions are generally routed to an outside immigration firm - HR has the generic knowledge when it comes to immigration which you’d find on the internet. Haven’t heard of layoffs in a while in DirecTV.. since it’s now a stand alone company they are cutting ties with the AT&T systems and building teams from ground up - should be secured for now. No stocks/signing bonus at joining. You’d normally get a 100% of the annual bonus every year.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! I see that you are in the data domain as well. Have you heard about the management analytics team? Any thoughts on how good / bad their infrastructure is and whether the projects are good?
Any idea what the annual bonus might end up being? Is it like 10% or so?
Can anybody provide directv referral?

I don’t think they offer stock options but that might have changed.
Thanks for your response. Were you working at DirecTV earlier? What role and team were you in?
I was working out of the broadcast center as a sys admin. It was my first job out of college. That was about 10 years ago. I was part of the CIA team
