      Good company, depending on your clique within it.

      Program manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Generally cares about its employees. Modern culture. Decent pay.

      Cons

      Tends to promote based on past loyalties (when they were a smaller company) and based on cliques within different management sectors. As a result, a decent percentage of lower VP and Sr. Director level folks do not have either broad experience at other companies or many years at Viasat, and therefore are in over their heads. Over time you can see the negative affect this has on the company as a whole.
