      Viasat is a great company, but your experience will largely depend on the department you’re hired into.

      Pros

      Competitive pay if you are good at negotiating. Growing company, great experience and opportunity to enhance your resume.

      Cons

      Joining Viasat as a company might be a great idea by itself. However if you’re thinking of joining Viasat’s Tax, Accounting or Finance department, think again. That whole function might as well be a different company, or world. Crazy hours, no work life balance, no decision making power, alarming turnover. Don’t do this to yourself.

      Racist Culture

      Pros

      no weekend work, infrequent overtime, very clean environment, decent pay although I was low-balled because of race despite having 10 years experience

      Cons

      VERY RACIST CULTURE, verbal abuse, lackluster training, ideas stolen, high turnover. Witnessed African-American employees being verbally abused for no reason. If you are Caucasian or a white supremacist then this is your dream company. If you are a minority you will be treated like you don't exist. I say "good morning' to supervisors and was totally ignored like I wasn't there. Also experienced childish name calling while working. Despite doing a great job everyday it's obvious African-Americans aren't welcome there.

      While many employees write about our casual culture, there are some things we do not approach casually. Having an inclusive and respectful work environment is one of those things - and it’s essential to who we are. When we read your post, we were stunned. The experience you described does not represent who we are or strive to be. We sincerely hope you will contact our HR team or call the company's anonymous ethics hotline to provide specific details so we can investigate your comments. We take all feedback very seriously and hope you will engage with us constructively to resolve your concerns.
