      Company culture only good (was) at Carlsbad

      Pros

      Great benefits ( the health insurance alone is worth it), In Carlsbad pre-covid we will have great company parties, bicycles to ride between buildings, a very college campus vibe.

      Cons

      HR department called People and Culture stated "We are not here to protect employees only the company." You can be fired for missing one day of work even if you worked the day. Very secretive pay scales. Such a large disparity of pay between coworkers who all start in the same time frame ( this can be a pro if you are lucky). Do to the under staffment they will swap your schedule around one day to the next

      Pros

      Great company that cares about the well being of its employees. Excellent benefits and employee programs. Very little crunch. Skilled and generally awesome co-workers. Aside from the healthy culture, this good review comes mostly from the fact that, in 2020 when when all airline-centric revenue was hit hard and some competitors were undergoing large scale layoffs (%40+), Viasat cut the absolute minimum (%3 I think?) and even continued standard cost of living raises in 2020. It shows a strong commitment and stable business practices.

      Cons

      There is definitely some political nonsense in the upper echelons here, but you're going to see that in any company this large. It's relatively minimal I think.
