ViaSat is a technical place, not everyone is competent and there is no growth potential even though they say there is. - Hardware Engineer Viasat Employee Review

Pros

None... it was not a good place to work. I really did not enjoy my time there at all.

Cons

No leadership. They promise mentorship but there is none. No one really knows what the goals are, only upper level secret management. The pay is not even competitive. They spend money on things that make no sense, when people rather see it in the paycheck. The reviews are useless, and no one has any solid goals. There is no one to look up to. People are so distant, and hard to approach. It really is an engineering-centric culture.

Pros

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Great company to work that is cash flow positive, thinks long-term, cares about people. Lots of autonomy

Cons

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
