Viasat reviews

-Very understaffed and lots of overtime involved. -The salary isn't competitive enough for software developers -If you're a software person, this is not the place for you. You won't get to work on the cutting edge software/technology like other companies in the bay. What I found is that the people who rise in this company have EE/DSP/Digital Communications backgrounds and they get to work on the exciting stuff. Software developers are treated like a commodity here (aka seen as code monkeys). -There's really no room to grow here, the company values seniority over everything else. -Compensation increases are the same across the board, whether you worked hard or not. -Most of the people at the top don't do much at all (Engineering Director and up level), it's all political. -Most people are bored with their work.

- Ineffective leadership which is mostly due to co-founder who is still CEO and does not have the skills, experience, or capability to lead a company of this size and in this competitive market - They hardly ever promote or provide meaningful pay increases, even if your "focal review" claims you're a top performer. Over the past 3 years, pay increases are not even on par with cost of living increase due to inflation - There's literally no strategy and there hasn't been in the several years I've worked here. We have been constantly in "strategy mode" for years and years.
