      Pros

      The people are definitely the strongest asset here. People care about the mission, and about each other. There are some exceptions, but, generally, people don’t ping you late at night or expect you to work on vacation.

      Cons

      While there are a lot of opportunities to improve processes or solve problems, the opportunities for advancement are less clear. If you’re ambitious and seek them out aggressively, they come pretty easy. If you’re hoping someone will give you a path for you to follow, you’ll be disappointed. I’ve seen the biggest determinate of a person’s perception of advancement at Viasat is their direct manager. I know high performers who left because their manager was not supportive and an advocate for them.

      Pros

      Great benefits, fascinating and challenging work.

      Cons

      The area of the company where I work has had no issue increasing management layers to promote all kinds of white men, but at the same time, there's no funding available to bring women/BIPOC with the same job titles anywhere close to pay equity. There is a LOT of lip service regarding diversity and opportunity but the actions in hiring and promoting don't bear this out.

      Pros

      Free snacks, drinks, and occasional entertainment. Depending on your group/job function, ability to work from home (at least during COVID )

      Cons

      In my personal experience, very poor management and very poor hiring practices. Takes FOREVER to hire someone, even extremely qualified folks ( not talking about me even though it took more than 3 months for me to get hired ). I referred more than a dozen people who are extremely qualified and it took months to get one person an offer and it was too late so they didn't accept and took a position with another company.
