      Pros

      Mark D, chairman of the board, is fantastic. An engineering company founded by an engineer. Wouldn't have it any other way. Mark is getting old and may choose to retire any day. Guru, the new CEO, came in during a tumultuous time (failed FS3 launch, Inmarsat acquisition). I've been at Viasat a while. The company has been good to me and good for me. I've worked with some great people and done some great things.

      Cons

      Folks who may be good engineers, but not good managers, are promoted into management or adjacent roles. Lots of monkey business in certain pockets. Lots of waste.

      Pros

      Company pushes a unicorn culture.

      Cons

      Nothing but Nepotism at this company... especially if you're a white male you are a part of the in crowd. Favoritism and Nepotism abounds. This company is the quintessential embodiment of a systemic racist institution. All complaints of racial harassment are swept under the rug and offenders recieve wrist slaps while the victim is shamed. Opportunities for advancement are given to cronies.
