      Pros

      ViaSat is a decent place to work. It has a very relaxed atmosphere, open door policy, and great benefits. It has a "Do The Right Thing" motto, and therefore puts a lot of trust in the employees. This allows for flexible work schedules, and some working from home which is a great benefit.

      Cons

      ViaSat is understaffed, and always will be. This puts a lot of pressure on the employees, being overworked, and underpaid for the hours that they put in. There is no overtime pay for salary employees, and with most salary employees working 50-60 hours/week it can way heavily on you.

      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.

      Pros

      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.
