Sub-Cultures at the expense of company culture

Pros

Overall company culture and employee satisfaction is a big focus here. Company employing strategies at a corporate level to encourage cross-dept communication and collaboration. For the right person I would recommend working at ViaSat.

Cons

However...the sub-cultures in play make cross collaboration near impossible in some cases. The company is going through some growing pains, so going in understanding this is important. This alone shouldn't discourage one from seeking employment here though.

Pros

Great office facilities in Carlsbad.

Cons

Long hours with horrible work life balance. Management is out of touch with the engineers. No job structure. No opportunities. A lot of internal politics. If you want a career and have a desire to excel this is not the place to be with no way to move up and leaders without ambition this is a place where careers go to die.
