Lots of failing up and favoritism - Anonymous employee Viasat Employee Review

It is an old boys club in Operations. If you’re in the club, you have upward mobility, even if you’re completely incompetent. To be in the club, you typically need to be male, and former Navy or USMC, or a CalPoly graduate. If you’re female and/or a veteran of another branch of military service, you’ll get lip service. Then you’ll get laid off, only to have your job posted four months later.
