Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. The flexibility here at ViaSat lends employees to open and collaborative communication. Titles and a restrictive hierarchy can sometimes discourage innovative thought. As you know, innovation is what we are all about! We want all employees to feel empowered to define themselves through their interests and strengths while developing their career. So glad you enjoy the positive attitude and work-life balance ViaSat offers. Thanks for being on our team and for sharing in our fun-loving attitude!

Pros

Interesting work, company has great long term vision. Fringe benefits are awesome; free snacks, great 401k match and health insurance. Work life balance is excellent. Very low turnover.

Cons

Like all large companies there's a lot of variability between teams and business areas, some teams and projects are better than others.
