Pros

Good benefits, nice coworkers, interesting work, nice vision.

Cons

Projects meander, with no one in a leadership position making strategic decisions, until the last minute, then there is a flurry of activity and 7 day weeks to get the project out and make the deadline. As a result things get released to customers less than fully baked. Luckily Viasat has good lawyers. Viasat also has a tendency to replace groups of people instead of taking the time to figure out who is valuable and who isn't.

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.

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