Pros

New and interesting technology to work with. ViaSat's vision is great, get to work for a company that's innovating in technology. Great work life balance People and co-workers are great to work with.

Cons

Really the only downside is that ViaSat is a large company trying to act like a small one. This creates an awesome culture, but it can be a bit overwhelming at times if there is a lot to do with less structure than you'd expect a company of this size to have. It is a two edged sword, this is why ViaSat is great, but it can also be a bit chaotic at times. If you are a by the book, black and white, everything needs to be written down type of person, this may not be the place for you.

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.
