Pros

The pay is great and I really like Houston. Really, you cannot go wrong with Via Sat overall so yeah.

Cons

Long hours are to be expected and there is a sort of herd mentality that you need to adapt to.

Pros

Very good compensation, nice people, and have many freedom to do many different things. Managements are very cooperative and work hard.

Cons

There is no real enthusiasm to innovate and allow some of innovative idea to work. Rather, there are many bureaucracy to overcome.

Pros

Good benefits, nice coworkers, interesting work, nice vision.

Cons

Projects meander, with no one in a leadership position making strategic decisions, until the last minute, then there is a flurry of activity and 7 day weeks to get the project out and make the deadline. As a result things get released to customers less than fully baked. Luckily Viasat has good lawyers. Viasat also has a tendency to replace groups of people instead of taking the time to figure out who is valuable and who isn't.
