Pros

Overall company culture and employee satisfaction is a big focus here. Company employing strategies at a corporate level to encourage cross-dept communication and collaboration. For the right person I would recommend working at ViaSat.

Cons

However...the sub-cultures in play make cross collaboration near impossible in some cases. The company is going through some growing pains, so going in understanding this is important. This alone shouldn't discourage one from seeking employment here though.

Pros

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
