Good company, depending on your clique within it. - Program Manager Viasat Employee Review

Pros

Generally cares about its employees. Modern culture. Decent pay.

Cons

Tends to promote based on past loyalties (when they were a smaller company) and based on cliques within different management sectors. As a result, a decent percentage of lower VP and Sr. Director level folks do not have either broad experience at other companies or many years at Viasat, and therefore are in over their heads. Over time you can see the negative affect this has on the company as a whole.

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.
