Pros

great environment, inclusive and friendly employees. unlimited sick time.

Cons

you will earn every single penny and then some. do more with less is absolutely the moto here. the culture perpetuates working like a dog. i was worn down physically, emotionally, mentally. there is never a 'lull', never a moment to get caught up. the department fosters an attitude of just get it done not do it well. which is hard as an individual that takes pride in my work. I knew i was underpaid, the company actually had to increase pay due to an audit within the state. sad to think they knowingly underpaid and then increased the pay under the guise of you earned it when actually it was always owed.

Pros

At the beginning, company was very promising, stable and they got decent compensations and good culture.

Cons

Slowly things started to change and decline, bad strategic decision lead to a very tough situation and everyone is scared of an inevitable layoff. things keep changing, it has become very chaotic recently. they changed the upper management and they brough incompetent people. once was a great place to work at, now it's a nightmare.

Pros

Was laid back then Inmarsat was purchased and screwed up ViaSat!

Cons

Expected to do all aspects of engineering too much for one person.
