      Pros

      Excellent overall opportunities. Benefits package is highly competative especially for high achievers.

      Cons

      Very competative technical landscape puts pressure on mid-management. Terrible management gangs in Commercial Mobility that take turns on hurting productivity of best workers who are mostly based in the U.S.

      Thanks for sharing your experience of your time with Viasat. While we’re so proud to offer the growth opportunities and benefits you called out, we were concerned to read your comments about management style. We encourage employees to reach out to their HR business partner for advice and guidance on any area of concern. While it looks as though you have left Viasat, we always want current and future employees to know their concerns are heard and we wish you all the best for your future career.

      Lacks leadership

      Pros

      The people they hire are generally smart and down-to-earth. It's also a culture where you can get involved in a myriad of projects, depending on your interest.

      Cons

      Really lacks good leaders, which makes it hard to have trust in them. Managers are usually smart, but many of them don't have that natural leadership ability and the organization doesn't seem to do much to address this issue. It's also an organization that doesn't like planning, so things are constantly changing, priorities constantly shifting. I don't mind changing as long as there's a good reason, but sometimes, it's simply the whim of someone at the top. Can get very frustrating. Also, flexibility seems to depend on who your manager is. There really is no company-wide flexibility policy.

      Thank you for your candid feedback and valuable insight. We definitely want all employees to have the opportunity to excel, make an impact and pursue their passions. We appreciate you recognizing and valuing this, too! We were, however, surprised to read your description of our leaders. It is very different than the description that many of our other employees share with us about their managers and our senior leadership. We take your feedback seriously and will look into where we may have opportunities to improve.
