Pros

-Most executives and employees are good, hard working people. -Excellent benefits and compensation. -Bonuses for many. -Equity for upper-echelon. -Beautiful offices. -Opportunities to move to another position.

Cons

-Due to tremendously fast growth of the company, everyone is extremely busy (from execs to janitors). -Everyone is overworked and expected to do so much and to wear so many hats. There is never a slow day. -Viasat is known for its fun culture (think Google), however, with all its changes and growth over the past five years or so, the culture is not fun, the "family feel" that was once an integral part of the company's culture is pretty non-existent. -The Viasat I knew and loved for many years no longer exists. -Viasat always had a good work-life balance, that no longer exists.

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.
