Wonderful top leadership, work depends on where in the organization you land - Anonymous employee Viasat Employee Review

Pros

Experience differs widely depending on where you land in the organization and who your supervisor is. I was relatively lucky. I found a fantastic work culture and support for employees - educational support, understanding, reasonable work-life balance. Some long days, but when deadlines are nearby it is expected. The top leadership is excellent, and even after my departure I think of them (particularly the CEO) often. They're visionary, humble, and incredibly smart -- which is hard to appreciate in the moment.

Cons

Middle management could use work and many folks in somewhat construed leadership posts. Lots of inefficiencies in the system. For the ambitious young employee it is hard to rise up quickly due to a very flat structure, though smaller achievements are often noticed and somewhat rewarded.

Our culture and the experience our employees have is extremely important to us so I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed some of these elements of our environment while you were with us. We're working on improving system efficiencies since we know this too impacts the experience our employees have. Wish you the best.

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.
