Pros

Great benefits and opportunity to enter the manufacturing world.

Cons

To many internal politics, unfair wages, poor training, poor management, unpredictable future as a regular employee, and if you not part of the right crew you're career ladder will be short.

Thank you for the review. We are always carefully considering how to streamline our operations while still capitalizing on our most strategic opportunities and, most importantly, continuing to invest in the future of the company.

Pros

Flexibility in location, campus is pretty. Healthy lifestyle encouraged.

Cons

Pay is a total joke, bonus and stocks are FAR below industry average. If this is your only offer, know your worth and counter, especially if stocks are not written in yearly comp package. Culture is what you make it, but if you’re constantly having to remind everyone how good you are at something (e.g. culture), then it’s a facade. Had to work with global teams so absolutely worked inside and outside California business hours.

Thank you for your feedback! Our employees drive everything we do and we are committed to supporting them in any way that we can. While we’re sorry to hear about the experience you had, it’s important that we address some of your comments. We closely monitor external compensation trends and data which enables us to adjust an employee’s compensation at any time throughout the year if the market has shifted quickly. We do this proactively, so our employees do not have to worry about falling behind. Employees are also encouraged to actively have these conversations with their supervisor. While we do pride ourselves on the culture we’ve maintained over the years, our culture was built by our employees and their feedback. The simple truth is that 91% of our employees recommend Viasat as a good place to work. Lastly, we do not favor tenure over talent. We’re committed to learning and growing with our employees and by not operating in a traditional hierarchal business structure we remove barriers for our people to innovate and collaborate at any level, in any location. We wish you best of luck in your future career!
