Pros
- Plenty of work to keep you from getting bored - Very laid back environment and culture - Can be fun at times
Cons
- Unless you are a Program Manager or an Engineer, you will not be valued or respected - ViaSat is considered a Department of Defense contractor and therefore is required to follow certain regulations. Top level leadership does not care about unethical behavior or ensuring compliance on their Government programs - Unethical behavior and non-compliance standards when performing in support of Government programs - Company does not practice what they preach - Growth opportunities do not exist. Company tells their employees that individuals control their own growth destiny; however, there is a clear "good-ol-boy" mentality that is practiced throughout the company. If you aren't liked or are not friends with those who make decisions, there isn't any potential for career progression. - Only Program Managers and Engineers are compensated fairly
