Pros

amazing benefits- health, gym, casual dress

Cons

Every single new hire that starts in supply chain gets bait-and-switched. You will interview for a job you think you are applying for and then after you've accepted an offer and started you start doing a completely different job under a completely different manager than you interviewed with. This has happen to every single new hire in the last 6 months. They don't believe in performance reviews, measurements, or metrics so you never know how you are doing or what you are measured to. Everyone on the supply chain team is severely overworked, undervalued, and under appreciated. The supply chain group has the worst reputation throughout the entire company because it it so dysfunctional. If you are on any other team at ViaSat- Program Management, Engineer, HR, etc. you will be fine, but do not under any circumstances come to this company to work in operations or supply chain.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The description above is obviously really concerning and something we need to look into right away. If you could reach out to someone on the People & Culture team to provide some more details that would be great. Regardless, we will make sure that your review is shared with the right people. Performance is actually something we take really seriously...so seriously that rather than have one conversation a year we want managers to have one per quarter, at a minimum.

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.
