Pros
If you are a hardware engineer, ViaSat is the company for you. Most of the programs are fighting over getting engineers on their project. The management, being hardware engineers, are supportive of a creative atmosphere and doing anything they can to keeping engineers motivated and happy. Pay and benefits are awesome.
Cons
All other functional positions are seen as necessary evil, making for two big issues: 1. Non-engineers could really use an org-chart and escalation path to get work done. 2. Re-orgs usually mean non-engineers (seen as commodities) are replaced instead of reassigned.
