Pros

The doers are amazing! Some of my best friends. The company has some nice perks like parties and gym and onsite health center.

Cons

The team that is supposed to shape the company culture is so corrupt and fueled by favoritism. They say they encourage people's questions and opinions but the second you question anything then you have a target on your back. We've seen it happen. People have been fired and pushed out so since we have no way at work to voice our concerns then at least Glassdoor can give us that say.

Pros

Casual environment, education reimbursement, company has potential to be a great place to work but.....due to lack of leadership the place is miserable.

Cons

Worst management I have ever witnessed. Managers that blame their employees for their own lack of leadership, managers that allow bullying and turn a blind eye to daily harassment by coworkers, a miserable, unethical work experience that I will never forget. I am so happy I do not work here anymore. The expense report function is awful with the mean, unkind representative they have working there. Don't travel or you will have to deal with the TROLL! She is awful, poor relations with all employees, mean, lack of customer service, calls employees IDIOTS. The worst experience of my life.

Pros

the culture and environment at Viasat is aimed at making employees happy. they go a long way to achieve this and it makes for a very good sell. But that is all it turns out to be.

Cons

not all departments have the same issue, the one I worked in was out of control. I had an issue with a coworker who stepped over the line and had taken their homophobic hatred to the point of using intimidating with death threats, vandalizing personal property and stealing personal property. Management told me to ignore it no matter how hostile the work environment become, because this person is mentally unstable and was not responsible for their actions. I do not believe that is an excuse for the behavior. The management in this department hide behind a mask of 18th century bigotry and ignorance.
