      Flexible, autonomous work environment

      Pros

      If you're a self-starter and don't like a lot of management, it's a great place to be and grow. They value autonomy, so even if you're junior-level and don't know what you're doing, they won't mentor or manage you - so you can experiment and mess up all you want until you figure things out.

      Cons

      They hire on a whim, so you end up with people they "like" who have no real expertise or position to work in, and when they are lacking resources in other areas (personnel), they will disregard it and make employees work regular overtime.

      Pros

      The benefits, in aggregate, are some of the best I've seen. Solid health care plan, good 401k match.

      Cons

      Almost no career pathing or promotion from within. Almost all senior position hires were from outside. Very weak bonus program. Only 30% of employees get ANYTHING, which means that after bonuses are handed out, 70% of the people are bummed out and unmotivated. Even the 30% who get something don't all get full bonuses. The amounts range from skimpy up to 10% of salary.

      Pros

      Engineers have a lot of say with the direction of projects.

      Cons

      No centralized leadership when it is decision time. Decisions are made in a group, adding considerable time. Customers know that ViaSat is always late with deliveries.
