Business Outlook
Pros
The people are definitely the strongest asset here. People care about the mission, and about each other. There are some exceptions, but, generally, people don’t ping you late at night or expect you to work on vacation.
Cons
While there are a lot of opportunities to improve processes or solve problems, the opportunities for advancement are less clear. If you’re ambitious and seek them out aggressively, they come pretty easy. If you’re hoping someone will give you a path for you to follow, you’ll be disappointed. I’ve seen the biggest determinate of a person’s perception of advancement at Viasat is their direct manager. I know high performers who left because their manager was not supportive and an advocate for them.
