      Pay for Performance - This is untrue

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The relaxed atmosphere, cafeteria, free coffee, gym

      Cons

      This is not a company that pays for performance. High performers will be unhappy here. If you are used to completing tasks, you will need to learn to "chill out" here or you will be unhappy. We laugh internally when a project is suggested to take a month, we say 3-6 months because we are here.

      Not like Viasat HQ nor like old WildBlue

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most coworkers were smart and friendly Decent salary and perks (per Denver standard) Good coffee Unlimited paid sick leave

      Cons

      It used to have only one (1) HR person for the whole office! That one person couldn't keep up with anything and everyone was still ok with it. You get promoted, if the management REALLY likes you Old boys network Completely disconnected from the HQ culture Almost always understaffed A lot of proprietary stuff to work on, working on that won't help much when looking for a new job

      Thank you for your insight. While we haven’t heard from as many of our Denver based employees on Glassdoor, we were delighted to hear from them in our recent employee survey about their positive experiences working at ViaSat and yes, areas where we could improve, which we truly appreciate. We also value our diverse culture and have dedicated members on our People and Culture team who champion diversity across our locations including veterans, women in tech and African American outreach and support programs to name a few. We believe diversity is the cornerstone to innovation and growth and are surprised to hear your experience did not reflect this. We hope you will reach out to your HR Business Partner or contact the employee ethics line so we can identify any shortcomings on our part.

      Pros

      Every now and then you can actually concentrate on some really fun and interesting work.

      Cons

      Fear of proper organization - this goes all the way to the top. The start-up feel they try to spin overall disorganization is in reality, an enabler for the many general miscommunications, limited cross department institutional knowledge, missed deadlines, finger pointing, inter-employee angst, inter-site angst, large inefficiencies, and in many cases vastly overworked contributors, and a boat load of coasters who get away with doing very little. There are almost what could be described as several 'factions' within headquarters who think they are the decision makers as well due to this lack of organization and accountability (they actually call this culture too, which is extra an aggravating cherry on top). The company can't scale like this.
