Pros

Great staff, interesting work, great office location, good conditions of service in the UK

Cons

Since Viasat bought Inmarsat things have taken a turn for the worse, and in fact I'd day it's been a disaster. From being a solid company, wages are in decline after some poor annual awards, the IT systems are now dreadful, a lot of the best and most experienced people are leaving in a round of redundancies that has been brought about a collapsing share price in the face of a debt mountain and investor uncertainty. The roadmap is not at all clear and everyone is wondering what's going to happen next.

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.
