      Hi...thanks for taking a moment to write a review. It's great to hear that you're enjoying so much of the ViaSat experience! In terms of "no career paths," we don't create/communicate formalized career paths for employees because we want employees to have the flexibility to change paths and not feel locked into a particular direction. We also want employees to feel like they're in the driver's seat when it comes to their careers. With that said, if you would like to discuss a career path or get a little assistance in developing a plan to move in a particular direction, I want to strongly encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner. For anyone who wants a more structured approach they are available to help!

      Pros

      The benefits, in aggregate, are some of the best I've seen. Solid health care plan, good 401k match.

      Cons

      Almost no career pathing or promotion from within. Almost all senior position hires were from outside. Very weak bonus program. Only 30% of employees get ANYTHING, which means that after bonuses are handed out, 70% of the people are bummed out and unmotivated. Even the 30% who get something don't all get full bonuses. The amounts range from skimpy up to 10% of salary.

      Pros

      Great Benefits Excellent Coworkers CEO with a plan Good technology A choose your own adventure career path, which can be a pro but also can be a con. Good for go getters

      Cons

      Average salary Like most jobs, your satisfaction depends highly on what group you are assigned. No formal career path / hierarchy leaves the potential for stagnation
