Viasat: The Good & The Bad

Senior administrative assistant
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

-Most executives and employees are good, hard working people. -Excellent benefits and compensation. -Bonuses for many. -Equity for upper-echelon. -Beautiful offices. -Opportunities to move to another position.

Cons

-Due to tremendously fast growth of the company, everyone is extremely busy (from execs to janitors). -Everyone is overworked and expected to do so much and to wear so many hats. There is never a slow day. -Viasat is known for its fun culture (think Google), however, with all its changes and growth over the past five years or so, the culture is not fun, the "family feel" that was once an integral part of the company's culture is pretty non-existent. -The Viasat I knew and loved for many years no longer exists. -Viasat always had a good work-life balance, that no longer exists.

Pros

-Culture: Viasat encourages innovation and creativity. People are generally positive, collaborative, very smart/high caliber/competent which creates an enjoyable work environment. Turnover is low- people love working here. -Global teaming: I work with team members from around the world on a daily basis and am constantly learning, challenged, and building a network -Benefits/Flexibility: There is no specific RTO policy and most people are hybrid or remote. Great benefits especially the flexible time off (aka unlimited PTO which is respected and people truly do take time off) -Internal mobility: I have worked at several large organizations and Viasat promotes/encourages internal mobility more than any other organization I have worked for. Managers are not fighting to keep people but rather encouraging them to pursue internal opportunities if it is the right next step for them -Great leaders: In my time here I have found many leaders who have become champions for me and my career, advocating for me and providing opportunities that align with my future goals -There is a lot of work being done internally all centered around employee experience, ensuring compensation and benefits are competitive in the market, transparency from the top, etc- they truly listen to employee feedback

Cons

Viasat has been in a period of change as a result of new leadership, an acquisition, and an internal re-org. The change is much needed to grow and achieve a longer term strategy however it has resulted in a lot of internal chaos, layoffs, and uncertainty about the future (especially with such a low stock price/investor confidence). The change has also delayed key initiatives and it can feel like teams operate in silos (i.e. the DEI team seems to operate in a silo which is unfortunate) but I am encouraged by the work going on to make positive changes.
