      Pros

      The flat hierarchy is good at minimizing politics. The company is also very engineering oriented which is nice coming from companies where Sales drove all.

      Cons

      The lack of an org chart can make it confusing on where issues should be escalated.

      Pros

      Great benefits, flexible work hours, casual workplace. Decent resources to get job done. Pay can be competitive, but not overly generous.

      Cons

      I think there are a lot of good people who work at ViaSat, but the management can be a little too inwardly focused and poorly trained in people skills. Tough internal politics in several of the divisions.

      A Good Place for Engineers

      Pros

      Great team-oriented atmosphere and non-stress culture. Engineers can thrive and find rewarding and challenging projects. "Flat" organization is good for the worker bees, though as ViaSat grows, so too does bureaucracy. I found pay and benefits to be above average. Great environment for a self-starter. Kind of regret leaving.

      Cons

      "Flat" organization has it's downside for those who prefer clearly delineated roles, objectives and coordinated effort. The small company approach to innovative engineering may be a necessary casualty as ViaSat grows. It's either a pro or a con depending on perspective.
