Pros

Getting into the right team at Viasat is paramount to your experience. I was fortunate enough to work in the Finance organization with strong support for the hard work and contributions of the employees

Cons

Inferior work/life balance. Leadership is only interested in getting things out the door and not creating a complete solution with a strong implementation plan. This results in poor code quality, lack of testing and continuously increasing manual processes/technical debt.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
