      Pros

      ViaSat is challenging, fun, has a good culture, great campus in Carlsbad, opportunities for growth if you work hard and is generally a happy place to work.

      Cons

      The level of organization and discipline varies widely from program to program. System Engineering is very capable but not always disciplined about thorough documentation prior to projects starting, partly due to insufficient resources.

      Pros

      ViaSat is a decent place to work. It has a very relaxed atmosphere, open door policy, and great benefits. It has a "Do The Right Thing" motto, and therefore puts a lot of trust in the employees. This allows for flexible work schedules, and some working from home which is a great benefit.

      Cons

      ViaSat is understaffed, and always will be. This puts a lot of pressure on the employees, being overworked, and underpaid for the hours that they put in. There is no overtime pay for salary employees, and with most salary employees working 50-60 hours/week it can way heavily on you.
