Business Outlook
Pros
Mark D, chairman of the board, is fantastic. An engineering company founded by an engineer. Wouldn't have it any other way. Mark is getting old and may choose to retire any day. Guru, the new CEO, came in during a tumultuous time (failed FS3 launch, Inmarsat acquisition). I've been at Viasat a while. The company has been good to me and good for me. I've worked with some great people and done some great things.
Cons
Folks who may be good engineers, but not good managers, are promoted into management or adjacent roles. Lots of monkey business in certain pockets. Lots of waste.
