Pros

The ViaSat company offers good salaries, has many dedicated workers, excellent benefits, and competent trainers. Their facility is kept clean and orderly.

Cons

ViaSat is not as military friendly as they make themselves out to be. They also demand a lot of time away from family/home (which, to be fair, is not kept secret when applying for the job).

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.
