Viasat reviews

401k is terrible. 50% match.(most decent tech companies do 100%match, yet these people do 50%) No training structure or training at all for software roles. First few months I just came into work with no idea what i would be doing for the day besides meetings. Just had to act busy . Im happy with what I do now being here for a year and half but like i said first bit was rough without a training on how to code/test/projects/do things. I had to self teach everything to just keep up. Unlim time off but never been able to use it without mgmt getting upset when I took time off.

Unfortunately, Viasat is a place where everything you do thats above and beyond immediately (and retroactively) becomes part of your job. There are a VERY small number of people who get recognition for the hard work of a lot of people. It doesn't matter if you work 32hrs or 52hrs a week, the upper management will tell you that you must work harder. You can never grow because all growth is not career advancement and all hard work is rewarded with much more work. Also, compensation: small raises, tiny bonuses and 401k matched in stock (search VSAT, if you're curious about that last one).
