Pros

Excellent overall opportunities. Benefits package is highly competative especially for high achievers.

Cons

Very competative technical landscape puts pressure on mid-management. Terrible management gangs in Commercial Mobility that take turns on hurting productivity of best workers who are mostly based in the U.S.

Thanks for sharing your experience of your time with Viasat. While we’re so proud to offer the growth opportunities and benefits you called out, we were concerned to read your comments about management style. We encourage employees to reach out to their HR business partner for advice and guidance on any area of concern. While it looks as though you have left Viasat, we always want current and future employees to know their concerns are heard and we wish you all the best for your future career.

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.
