      Good Benefits, Political Problems

      Pros

      Viasat's compensation package seemed fairly generous with good health care. Employees that worked hard could be reasonably certain of getting a raise and more RSU's each year. Some of my coworkers were delightful to work with.

      Cons

      Viasat's different offices compete hard for resources and control of different projects. It was not uncommon to have a promising engineering project killed due to management politics. If you have a political manager, it can be difficult to advance your own career in the organization.
