      Flexible company, allows employees to switch between groups

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible, most managers have an open door policy, good benefits, different groups working on different technologies (not all of it is satellite related)

      Cons

      communication between upper management is bad. New hires tend to be confused for some time due to lack of direction. Many times politics get in the way of getting the job done.

      Great company but happiness depends on what project you're on

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible, comfortable, casual work environment. People are friendly, and the Carlsbad campus is very nice. If you're on the right project and are a meaningful contributor, you'll be recognized and typically be given interesting and challenging work. Lots of smart people to learn from. Most employees are very happy. If you're self-motivated, intelligent, and friendly, you'll probably do well at ViaSat.

      Cons

      Some projects are understaffed and weekends can be necessary to get the work done on time. Schedules can be unreasonable as projects are often won by promising unrealistic short schedules to the customer. If you're not a self-starter, you may get lost in the noise. If you're on a project with a couple of "rock star" engineers, you may not get the interesting work.
