Solid if you are an Engineer - Anonymous employee Viasat Employee Review

Can be very political and you have to play that game if you want to further your career there. Promotions are not merit based, and if you are not an engineer they like to pigeon-hole you into a spot and grind your hard with little to no opportunity to move up in the company. Almost all senior positions are hires from the outside, with some of them having "ties" to senior management already in place. I have seen very little promotion from within the company.
