Great on the surface, awful underneath. - Engineer Viasat Employee Review

Thank you for your feedback. 2020 has been a challenging year but the resilience our employees have shown has not gone unnoticed. Here at Viasat, we work together as one team to achieve our mission – to connect the unconnected. Our senior leadership team had an obligation to act swiftly and responsibly to ensure our future and adapt to the impact of this global crisis. In every case, decisions were made thoughtfully, reviewed by multiple levels of management, and weighed against a number of alternatives. There’s a limit to what can be shared broadly in situations like this, and we understand the unfortunate frustration that this can create for employees like yourself. That said, we truly value your feedback and are committed to being as transparent as possible in order to help our employees understand the rationale behind difficult decisions and all the tradeoffs considered. As our business evolves, our genuine hope is that our employees—at every level and in every location—will contribute to that evolution by engaging with us on the big challenges we have ahead and sharing perspective that will help us continue our tradition of a great culture.
