Pros

Lots of really talented employees trying their best

Cons

- Awful communications from Senior management. - Merger with Inmarsat is a mess. The self promoters are getting promotions irregardless of their business success. A VP with no proven track record at ViaSat just given Pres job when his specialty is partying with his favorite employees. Everyone knows it, but leadership ignores it because he is a good self promoter. - The once great culture caught COVID and died.

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

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
