Pros

- Great campus - Flexible work arrangements - Great company holiday party - CEO is down to earth - Casual dress code in operations - "Work hard, play hard" culture

Cons

- A lot of martyrs in my former department who worked long hours and/or on weekends. Seemed to be a competition of who could take the least vacation and work the most hours. - ViaSat is not immune to politics - Older product lines seemed to have a lot of tribal knowledge and spotty documentation

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.
